Tips for PC build

[Dragon Legend]

Hi guys,
So I`m trying to build a PC here because my laptop sucks ♥♥♥♥. I know all the parts i want except for the motherboard. This PC is specifically meant for gaming and video editing only. I made a list of motherboards i might want. I need the best of the best. If you could tell me which one you think is the best or one that you would recommend, that would be great. However, if you don't like any of these then please tell me the one you think is the best. I'm going to use a GTX 780ti graphics card and an intel corei7 processor.

asus m5a78l-m-usb3 am3+

asrock h97m itx mobo

msi a78m-e35

gigabyte f2a88xn-wifi

Asus H55 LGA 1156

ECS H81H3-M4

Msi 970a-g43 atx

asrock 960gm/u3s3fx

asrock fm2a78m-hd-a78 fm2

asus m5a99fx pro r2.0

biostar h61mgv3

maximus 6 extreme mother board from asus

asus x79 deluxe

What generation is your CPU? and/or Socket LGA?

Asus m5a78l-m-usb3 am3+ is for AMD Processor, not an Intel Core Processor.

For Intel Processors, you have later generations (2nd Gen = Sandy Bridge, 3rd Gen = Ivy Bridge, 4th Gen = Haswell, 5th Gen = Broadwell, and 6th Gen = Skylake). These however need to match the CPU (It will say a LGA socket number on it).

Your GTX 780Ti can optimally support 1440p resolution at very high settings.

Ideally you would want for gaming purposes (awesome for maxed out gaming):

Z97 Motherboard (4th Gen - Haswell Refresh) with Intel Core i7-4790K CPU (Devil's Canyon) Processor
(this uses DDR3 memory)

or if you can afford (approx 15% more performance, for editing, etc):

Z170 Motherboard (6th Gen - Skylake) with Intel Core i7-6700K CPU Processor
(this will need DDR4 memory)

Consider looking at Gigabyte or ASUS RoG motherboards, however any cheaper ones should also do similar performance, it just will depends on additional features.

Out of those "maximus 6 extreme mother board from asus" from the list is the best Z87 motherboard. Some Z87-based motherboards support 'Devil's Canyon' CPUs, such as the Core-i7 4790K, but may require a BIOS update. One of the most important new features of the Z97 chipset is the addition of support for SATA Express and M.2, which will greatly increase maximum throughput for SSDs. I would strongly suggest Z97 over a Z87 motherboard, if you can afford it.

[_I_]

most those boards are very poor choices, even for compatable cpus and gaming
maximus 6 extreme is a z87 board, best for 4770k
and x79 is socket 2011, not a good choice for gaming rig

for an i7, you need a b85-h97-z97 board or newer
