MSI Z97 Gaming 3 vs. ASRock Z97 Fatal1ty Killer vs. Asus Z97-A


These are the rest of my specs:

 

Corsair Carbide Air 540,

 

Intel Core i5 4670K @ 3.4GHz,

 

Noctua NH-L9i CPU Cooler,

 

G. Skill Ripjaws X 8GB(2x4GB) DDR3-1600,

 

MSI Twin Frozr V GTX 970 4GB @ Stock,

 

1TB 7200RPM Western Digital Black HDD,

 

Intel 530 240GB SSD,

 

EVGA G2 750W 80+ Gold Fully Modular PSU.

 

Based on these, which would be the best motherboard for me? Also, which has the best overall reliability?

What are you going to be using your rig for?

 

Are you going to be running SLI in the future? Because that PSU Is overkill.

 

I would personally go with the ASUS Mobo. They've haven't failed me yet.

970 SLI in the future, yes. So, so far Asus has 1 on their side.

So you add a poll :) that way people can vote and score tracking can be more organized.

Will do.

If 970 SLI is in your future then you have to bump up to the ASRock Fatal1ty Z97X Killer because the non-X doesn't support SLI, only Crossfire. 

Good call. But it's still pretty much the same board, just SLI compatible?
