Gigabyte Z97P-D3 Intel LGA1150 Z97 ATX Motherboard new build
« on: August 08, 2015, 05:14:08 pm »
I am look at a new build and have selected the Gigabyte Z97P-D3 Intel LGA1150 Z97 ATX Motherboard  into which I was thinking of fitting the I74770k  or 4790k along with 16Gb of ram mainly office work and some graphic art using Corel draw.
Would this be an adequate Mb for this and give a fast performance.
This will run office, Outlook and web browsing with several windows open at once.
Comments please
Or should I look at the i7 5820k in a new board to support it and if so what board I am out of date on MB at the moment.
Does it have an M2 pcie x4 socket to accept the Kinston Hyperdrive ssd

Both Z97 & X99 boards will give you about the same performance. If you are going to us the i7's it is all in how much money you want to spend. But like I said board setup will do want you are looking to do. Just look the speed of all 3 speeds of the CPU's and pick the one with the highest speed and you should be fine.

Plus one other thing look at the CPU and what memory it will support. Stay with that memory one less step that one have to do when setting it up. That way you don't have to mess with any OC.

OK then the spec I have now is the Z97p-d3 with i74790k and 16gb 2133 mhz ram

The trouble is the MB does not show on any configurator I have tried to use, so is it a new MB.

It is certainly not expensive. Just seems ideal for me and keeps cost down. Would you recommend any other I should look at first before I commit money?

The Z99 motherboard and the Intel 2011-3 is a high end system compared to your Z97 choice. 

The Intel 2011-3 chips is equivalent to a XEON CPU.  I have the cheapest one. 

You will notice an improved response to your desktop publishing program, if it is multi-threaded (Premier Pro etc.). 

The CPU is a "process rich" device and it depends on the programs that you use.  Its response is faster.

Z99 MOTHERBOARD/CPU/DDR4 RAM IS VERY EXPENSIVE.

I am a graphic designer and use the CS6 Master Suite. 

The Z97 is cheaper, and may be the best, but this depends on what programs you use.  Are they multi-thread aware?

Its interesting that you have a Xeon , have yo u tried a dual chip Mb ?
