ECS Z97-PK Deluxe mATX Motherboard Review

[Apoptosis]

I am constantly asked to help build a low cost system for the casual gamer. Generally, I’ll point them to an AMD based system, which doesn't compare to an Intel Core i5 system, but generally it’s within people’s budget and does what they need. Earlier this year, Intel released the Pentium Anniversary G3258, which comes unlocked and has been found to be a massive overclocking processor. ECS has released the Z97-PK Deluxe mATX motherboard is designed for Socket 1150 processors, with a focus on the Intel Pentium G3258 '20th Anniversary Edition' processor. Right now, the ECS Z97-PK Deluxe motherboard is a little hard to find as it is just being released, but you can find it at a few places for $79.99 plus shipping. This makes it the lowest priced Intel Z97 board on the market and I just had to take a look at it.

WOW! I have been wanting to get my feet wet with a newer Intel rig but price has kept me back. This would give me a reason to transfer my B55x4 to the HTPC If they had it in stock at MicroCenter I would head there tootsweet (can't use paypal right now or I'd get the combo at Newegg--wifey would want to know where the money came from, heh heh, good thing I do my own laundry and she never looks in my sock drawer *wink* ).
