I am going to purchase a brand new Intel Core i7 4770k processor for gaming purpose and I wanted to know which will be the best motherboard to support this CPU? I should also be able to overclock with the motherboard and atleast it should last for 2 years for me. I dont care about its price, i just want a stable motherboard for my gaming needs. Thanks for any suggestions.
Intel Core i7-4770K processor is made for overclocking purpose only and therefore I would recommend you to go with none other than the Z87 series motherboard. There are other series mobo's also like the B85 and H87 but they are not meant to be used for overclocking purpose because they dont have power phases for overclocking. So, go with any brand of Z87 series motherboard and you wont regret your decision for sure.
Even I was going to recommend you the GIGABYTE GA-Z87X-OC which is based on the Intel Z87 chipset. The mobo is fast and it has dual bios feature and easier to setup. The functions of the BIOS is beautifully explained and even a noob can understand it without much knowledge. However there are some times the it will automatically lose its configuration and it will also not boot sometimes.
The best motherboard that you can go with will be ASRock Z87 Extreme11/ac. It is the perfect board that you can get with a very beautiful bios as well. You can easily overclock your Intel Core i7 4770k CPU with this motherboard from its easy bios menu. There are tons of features I also dont know fully but if you are looking for a powerful computer then this is the mobo that you have been waiting for.
