Yes it does support SATA6 and Yes I used a i7 4770k and it works amazingly well. Overclocking works great, its just SUPER important that you download the latest drivers for all your components from their manufacturer websites.

Yes this is a 1150 socket motherboard and that means it supports the 4770k. If you haven't purchased the 4770k you should purchase the 4790k due to the better overclocking ability. The motherboard is rog and is top of the line and overclocks above average. Rog is coming out with their extreme z97 motherboards in July if you are willing to wait. Hopefully this answered all your questions ;)

yes, it's a sata 6, and overclocking is much easer than z87. you can use i7 4770k because the socket is 1150 but if you need to buy this cpu I recommend to buy i7 4790k that has better performance in temp and overclocking.

Yes and yes - supports SATA 6 (10 independent channels) and seeing as a 4770K leverages a 1150 socket, it is compatible.

Of course! A 4670k is an LGA 1150 socket processor, so it's compatible with the board, and an SSD would be perfect for any newer board with SATA ports, and that would be this one. The computer I built actually has both of those components along with the board, so I can vouch for this board. :)

find a different mobo.theses have bad sata controllers.i warrentied mined 6 months after getting it and this one the sata ports only work if hdd is on one and dvd etc. on 4-6. too much of a hassel to warrenty out again.

I use an i7 4770k. Didn't have to update the bios with this board. As long as the processor you are buying is an Intel 1150 it should work right away. This board features 2 bios in case one is messed up. I tried to flash(update) my bios and the pc crashed deleting the bios. I flipped the switch to bios B and it works fine.

Yes, and it's awesome. Good choice on the 4770; I bought the 4771 and I can't overclock it =[.... good build!

yes, i used i5-4670k and SSD on this motherboard. note that amazon says that there is a newer version of this board: MSI ATX DDR3 2600 LGA 1150 Motherboards Z97 GUARD-PRO

No poroblems at allmy current setup this MB, i7 4790k, GB gtx770, 256 GB Samsung 850 Evo SSD, WD Green 2 TB .... so you don't have any problems.

Lots of choices. Pick a mobo that suits your needs (overall size, # of sata ports/usb ports, etc.) and check their website for what cards they accept. also, google "pcpartpicker" for a useful compatibility tool among other things. hope it helps.

I wouldn't get any of them, you don't get the performance they brag about. Does your motherboard have SATA II or SATA III? If SATA III you don't need this waste of money in your computer.

Overclocking is really good on this motherboard and sense its a z97 motherboard it goes perfect with a i7 4790k. The i7 4790k is actually better than the i7 4770k when it comes to temperature and overclocking and sense this is a gaming motherboard overclocking is very simple on this board. Also sense this cpu has better heat transfer than other cpu, you can overclock much more and still keep temps pretty low but as for overclocking on this broad is very easy and the bios explains what everything does and also can automatically overclock for you, but at first it may be overwhelming with all the options this mother board gives you but like I said asus does a great job of explaining what everything does on there

Yes, but why use this old card now for RAID? The SATA supports only 150 MB/s. Most new drives will be SATA III, 6Gb/s or up to 550 GB/s. Just my $0.02 worth.

Yes, actually if you plan on over clocking and are limited to a mATX board, this is the best one out there for enthusiasts and regular users alike. Over clocks very well and Sata II is not a big deal, I'm running two SSDs in RAID 0 and don't see the sata II data caps yet!

I wish I could give you a good answer on this, but I installed it in a an older puter with an older sata3 buss, and ahci wasnt even an option in the bios. that being said, the customer is very happy with it said her puter has never been faster...

You can install it on that board, it has a pci express slot. The two sata ports may be blocked or harder to get to. I currently have mine installed in a SFF case and it fits fine.

ASUS Rampage IV Extreme LGA 2011 Intel X79 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Extended ATX Intel Motherboard ... This one is the one I have and like it very much. You may have to update the BIOS but after that, just enjoy it.
