Is the Z97 Sabertooth Mark 1 Worth it over the Extreme 6.

Go to solution Solved by Ryan Leech,

The Extreme6 offers so much for the money it's ridiculous. It has 98% of the features of the Sabertooth for $70 less.

Alright boys you mave have seen my other posts, but this time its the Mobo. I can afford an Asrock Extreme 6 for 170 which looks really cool and has what I need or I could get a sabertooth mark 1 (Mark 1 w/ Armour for matching black/blue scheme).

 

1. Is it worth the extra 70 bucks?

 

2. Is the Asus UEFI bios also worth the 70 bucks?

 

3. Why am I drawing a blank trying to make up questions?

 

Edit: Can you give me an insightful answer instead of that it looks cool.

Wow, Would you look at that

It's a sticker that's removable.  

Agreed on the ugly though
