Board for new haswell build

[qhfreddy]

I'm looking at a sub 150 quid, Z87, ATX board that is good at overclocking. Looking to put a 4670k or a 4770k in it. Mainly for gaming, but also some streaming and video editing.

ATM I am considering the Gigabyte UD4H, but I am not sure how it stacks up against the UD3H and D3H, both of which are quite a lot cheaper.

I also considered the MSi z87-GD65 gaming, but it seems a bit too expensive for what you get.

Try reading or watching our reviews mate.

What about the G45 Gaming?

The G1. Sniper M5 is good, if you're okay with an MATX board. A lot of guys round here really recommend the MSI and Gigabyte boards. Tom and Linus have both said recently that basically any board in that price range is more than enough, it just comes down to what you want aesthetic wise, and any little features you might enjoy using.

Edit: Also, Tom's latest video of the 4670K is worth a watch, unless your going to be doing some heavy image/video editing/music production and your main use is gaming then the 4670K is more than enough.

My main question was between the UD3H and UD4H, they seem like exactly the same board but the UD3H is about 10 quid cheaper. The UD4H seems like the best board for it's price if you count the UD3H out, so I am wondering where the UD3H differes and why the price is different. And AFAIK there is no review for the Z87 UD3H here, if there is, excuse me and links pls

I agree with Shaun for the most part but we are starting to see more games utilising those extra cores on your CPU that we didn't see before. Yes the difference will be minimal for the average gamer but with the new multi core consoles on the horizon I wouldn't be surprised if core optimization for multi core CPUs became more common and therefore if you have the spare cash you may wanna future proof just that little bit more.
