I need a help because I don't know which motherboard buy MSI Z87 DG65 Gaming, Asus Maximus VI Formula, Gigabyte G1.Sniper 5, MSI Z87 XPOWER, Gigabyte GA-Z87X-OC Force, I need buy one of this but I don't know which is beter to gaming and 3D Modeling with 3D max , Cinema 4 and which motherboard have the best sound card.
Which diferences are between SBX and SupremeFX and what is the best
 
honestly, it boils down to what connectivity you need. they all handle the CPU/GPU
tasks equally. whether you need more SATA ports, USB 3.0 ports, NICs, PS2 or
onboard audio. then comes price and color scheme.
the GD65 Gaming is the least cost, if it has all the ports you need, then meet your
new motherboard. spend less on CPU/Motherboard and more on GPU for most
GPU intensive applications and games.
 
They are all about the same, it just comes down to what you like the aesthetics of the most, as well as a few extra connections here and there.

The Gigabyte does come with an OP-AMP so you can easily switch the chip for a different one (one is provided in the box) I don't know if they actually make the sound better or just give a different sound effect, but still a neat feature. Although I don't plan on changing mine for my Sniper M5, and won't need to since I run audio through HDMI.

Welcome to the forums by the way. :)
 
maybe you should look into some x79 stuff, if you are willing to pay for an xpower or g1 sniper 5 board the jump to x79 isn't that far and xeons will improve your rendertime a lot.
 
I planed buy an intel i7 4770k, GPU Evga Gtx 770 OC, and 16GB DDR3 kingstone hyper x 2400mhz or corsair 2400mhz, but whick mother board is the best and is better to gaming and modeling with 3D max, Cinema 4D , etc.

MSI Z87 GD65 Gaming, MSI XPOWER, ASUS Maximus VI FORMULA, Gigabyte G1 Sniper, Gigabyte Z87 OC Force.

Which motherboard you suggest me

I like buy the best PC parts because I gould like that my pc works for long years and suport new parts like mor HDD, GPU, RAM

Out of the lot of them the most popular is the MSI Z87 GD65 Gaming. But like I said they are all the same pretty much, Tom has said in the past that all boards are up to par now, they are all well made so it just comes down to what you prefer the look off, like heatsinks, colours, any logos (MSI use the dragon, Gigabyte use the skull with the dagger in it's mouth) etc.

I'd personally go for the Gigabyte G1 Sniper as I have the M5 version, but if your not a fan of a bit of green say you wanted to build a reg rig then it's not for you.

i'm pretty sure the g1 sniper 5 is a lot more expensive than the m5. gd65 or MPOWER SP would be my choice.
 
Please don't double post.

And no, I didn't say that they're not good, I said they're a bit more expensive than other RAM with similar specs.
 
Either will be fine.

If you really like the looks of the Platinums and you have the money for them; by all means go for it.

If you're looking to save some money; Hyper X would probably be the way to go :)
