MSI Z97I Gaming ACK vs Asus Z97I-Plus

 

I will be running a intel i5 4690 [haven't decided wheather to get the K version].

I would like this board to last for a LONG time

Anything big the boards have/ are missing that I should look out for when chosing?\

Suggestions? Thoughts?

Both are seems to be same but I would go with MSI.

I think I'm going to go with the Asus mobo because it has fan contolers on the board (didn't see any on the MSI board)

I love the look of the new MSI but I would choose the ASUS over it. It's probably more reliable and looks classy with the bronze tones. If you want to spend $220 the new Z97 ASUS Maximus VII Impact is probably top tier now for mITX.
