Z97M-DS3H vs. H97-HD3

[jNK]

I was considering if I should get Gigabyte Z97M-DS3H a instead of a H97-HD3 motherboard on a tight budget gaming PC. Since the prices are exactly the same, which one should I get and is there any difference? These are the other PC specs:

CPU: CPU Core i5-4460 Quad 3.2GHz

RAM: DIMM 8GB DDR3 1600Mhz Kingston CL11

GPU: Gigabyte PCX GeForce GTX960 2GB GDDR5

HDD: HDD 3.5" 1TB Western Digital SATA3 64MB Caviar Blue 7200rpm

PSU: PSU 500W Deepcool DN500 Black 80Plus

Case: ATX Midi Tower Case Deepcool Tesseract SW Black

You're not overclocking so H97 should be plenty.

If you plan to upgrade you CPU at some point to one you can overclock go with the Z97. Otherwise it won't really matter, choose the on you think look prettiest or something.

What about the Gigabyte Z97P-D3 which has the same price as well. Although, yes, I might upgrade my CPU in the future so I might OC then.

If your going with an ATX case you might as well go with the GA-Z97P-D3, it has the same features but it's a larger mobo with more slots.
