Hey guys i'm going to build a computer with an i5-4460, no im not going to overclock, at least for now

 

asus h97m-e and MSI Z97m-g43 is on par when it comes to price

 

i just want to get the best bang out of my money, im mainly going to use my computer for gaming

 

should i go for the z97? or just stick to the h97 for asus's recognition

Where the fuck is the "Neither" button?  They're both equally awesome.

I must say what I recently had with my MSI board. The PCIe bus was shit, seriously. Even Minecraft would crash in 20 seconds in game.

But then I...... updated my BIOS(beta 1.0 to 2.6!)..... after a YEAR..... and now all games run fine.... yeah..

Nice experience. That was with MSI, my ASUS stuff didn't have that but that's minor.

Go for the MSI, it has more features but update the BIOS right away.

right? even if im not overclocking it still makes sense to go for something with more feautres considering price is not a factor

I only have direct experience with asus and their stuff is great, but I hear that board is also equally good.

Don't ask to ask, just ask... please 🤨
