[The Gaige]

Well guys it looks like I'm getting this board GIGABYTE GA-Z97X-GAMING G1 with a i7-4770K & I know it's not the i7-4790K but I'm getting a good deal on it so I'm going for it!

What do you think!

I have that board and it has been solid. That or the Z97 SOC FORCE is a great choice.

Anything you can tell me that I can do when I build it & oc it!?

thank you!

It runs cool so makes oc easy. when you do it just raise multiplier and not voltage. Leave voltage on auto it will add what needs to be added . Building is easy and if you go to auto oc it has presets for the 4770k and u can choose any one of them or set multi yourself.  When you go into bios the first time it will be UEFI and set your date and time and language then hit F2 to go to classic to overclock it.

You have to hit + and - on some of the settings to change them and others you just hit enter to bring up a sub menu. Once you get it just post if you have any questions someone is usually in here to help I am about this time or a few hours earlier each night also.

I think I changed my mind cause I want the i7-4790K so I'm going with this GIGABYTE GA-Z97X-GAMING GT it's cheaper so I can get the i7-4790K!

I use the i7 4790k in my gaming rig and I like it. What I like the best is I don't need to overclock to get to 4.0. When I first booted mine it was running at 4.489 I had to manually set multi lower to make it run at 4.0
