Thanks for the detailed answer. I've noticed the msi boards but there is too much disatisfaction with them around the forums I wanted the MSI MPower MAX ac but i cant find enough consumer reviews.

Unfortunately i haven't used a desktop in a very long time. Software wise which one has less bugs or more advantages ?

asrock fanboy with a gigabyte ?

Choises are http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/Z97PRO_GAMER/ 145 euros Asus pro gamer http://www.asrock.com/mb/intel/z97%20extreme4/ 145 euros asrock extreme 4 http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/Fatal1ty%20Z97X%20Killer... 155 euros asrock fatal1tyx killer http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4952#ov 145 euros gigabyte sniper g1 As you can see the price differences are minimal, so it all comes to down to hardware/software differences Please help Edit: The asus z87 plus could also suit my needs and its price is 110 euros but i dont know if its missing anything important...
