Hello! So I was going to order Gigabyte Z97 HD3 motherboard but suddenly I saw  MSI Z97 PC Mate which is at the same price as Gigabyte one. Is there a difference in overclocking abilities? Which one would you go for? I've seen that MSI has been slacking a little lately on build quality, so is it true?
