Though, I'd get the I5 4690k and a Z97 if you can swing it. Something like this, ASRock Z97 PRO4 + Intel Core i5-4690K, with the walk in combo deal is $259.00 after the $10.00 MIR and before taxes.ASRock Z87 Extreme3 + i5-4590

Moved to here 96S10, more appropriate.
Looking at two setups at my local Microcenter. Trying to decide between:
Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3 + FX-8350
or
ASRock Z87 Extreme3 + i5-4590
Can anyone tell me which would be best? This would be going with my GTX 770.
Gotta be honest that 4690k + Z97 for 249 looks great!
ASRock Z97 Anniversary Edition LGA 1150 ATX Intel with 4690k is $254. With that I can even swing an SSD! So the last question is that board OK?
The Z97 Anniversary is a bit of a joke actually. The power delivery section is only 4 phase so its going to get really hot of you overclock that chip very far. Minimum ASRock board I'd look at is the Extreme 3.
I really like the Asrock boards of late but I haven't heard anything bad about the Msi board you linked.
