    Best motherboard for a Intel Core i5-4670K?

    Opinions on the best motherboard to get for a Intel Core i5-4670K 3.4GHz on a $1,000 to $1,200 build for WoW?

    I'm looking at ASRock H87 Pro4 ATX LGA1150 right now, but wanted outside opinions on the subject.

    H87 board should be fine if you aren't doing overclocking, but you can get a Z87 board for just a little more as well. Newegg has $10 off the Asrock Z87 Pro3. ($105) Otherwise the Gigabyte Z87 D3H ($115) should be fine too.

    Keep in mind that you don't need a K processor if you aren't overclocking. And if you aren't overclocking, the H87 should fit your needs well. With the H77 series you would have had to be concerned about if it supported SATA3, how many USB3 it had, etc. But the new 78-series stuff, even in the budget H-level boards are still chock full of 6gbps SATA3, USB3.0, etc.

    On the low end I'd pick something like this:

    ASRock Z87 Pro4
    MSI Z87-G43

    ASRock Z87 Extreme3 (SLI support)

    These three all have SLI support, slightly better quality/performance/features/connections but obviously cost a little extra.

    MSI Z87-G45 Gaming
    Asus Z87-A
    ASRock Z87 Extreme4

    Z87 for overclocking option since you have an unlocked K version CPU. Don't forget an aftermarket CPU heatsink if you're going to overclock.
