i would go sabertooth because of the thermal armor and 5yr warranty

[Lingrah]

I would say this one it lacks the thermal armor but that isn't realy necisary http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813132125

[the jolly roger]

go for the maximum if you want all the gaming features, if not go for the sabertooth

What's your budget? All of these MoBos are super overkill unless you're doing something like a highest clock competition. The money would be better served on other components.

Why not go with a gigabyte z97x ud5h bk. A lot more reliable than the tuf series, and costs less.

thats a really nice motherboard i think i might get this one, the only think i dont like about it its that is doesnt have onboard audio, is there really a difference in audio quality?

The UD5 one pushed Tek Syndicate's 4690k to 4.9/5GHz stable

my budget is around 1800-2000 max... what motherboard would you recommend?

From what I have been able to notice, you won't be able to tell the difference unless you are trying your hardest. And at that point you may as well buy a dac.

I'd go for the Maximum VII

[NumLock21]

Get the Pro, it has both SATA Express and M.2

Sabertooth because of its 5 year warranty, they remove those things might not last that long. It doesn't even have onboard power/reset nor QCode LEDs.

Hero only has M.2 While removing the CMOS batter if rare, but if you have to, it's be a PITA to do so. It does have ROG exclusive features like SSD Secure Erase, Tweakers Paradise, and Keybot.

At your budget, you can get a X99 build.

Well, at your budget I'd go an X99 build. It's a bit overkill, but your budget is overkill. This is a gaming build, right? If so, what monitor are you using? That's usually the limiting factor on the more expensive builds as even a non-k i5 and an R9 290 can handle 1080p at 60 FPS no problem.

If you care for the looks, get the Sabertooth. If you don't, the ASUS Z97-PRO has some cool features. If you still don't think you'll use all those features, get something cheaper like the ASUS Z97-A... Spending a lot on your mobo isn't the smartest move, unless you know why you need a more expensive one.

 

Also, if you still need to buy the rest of the parts, saving some cash here could mean getting a better GPU, more SSD/HDD space, better memory, etc.
