Doesn't matter not ordering right now

[s3ns3]

the msi ofc

[Morfy]

The Asus one is a better performer, the MSI is the entry level board, features will differentiate them.

So which one fit better an i7 4770k Corsair vengeance pro 16gb ram and gtx 760? and which one will last longer

[Morfy]

The Asus one. And it will OC further.

[mgsstar]

The Asus one is guaranteed to reach 4.8GHz like JJ said in the TekSyndicate channel so I would go with that board. AI Suite 3 is pretty good imo. So far there are no bugs or glitches.

I'm not gonna do lots of overclocking.. maybe in a few years lol, so durability is the prior

Well I was planning to build this rig http://pcpartpicker.com/p/1bzFd

but as I see I should change the mobo. I'll change the other parts as well to match the color or maybe it's fine

The Samsung 840 120gb is cheaper and better imo. Its around $94.

That board is never going to be out again?

 

people in this same forum advised me that msi board instead of z87-a

therefore, I might have to think better..

the z87-a has RAM issues as I heard, just read the reviews on newegg

I currently have the Kingston HyperX Blu Black 8GB and currently have no problems with it except that I have to manually set it to 1.5v in order to have CL11 rather than CL9. The Asus board has a Mem OK! button which will help make your ram compatible.

Here are the compatible ram for Z87-A: http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/LGA1150/Z87-A/Z87-A_DRAM_QVL.pdf

I was gonna use the msi one to match the red color with msi gtx760 but I guess I'll go for the asus z87-a

with a little more money you can buy Asus maximus VI Hero, it has red and black color scheme too.

I'm hard pressed to recommend the ASUS because I hate the gold looks, the MSI looks much better, but the asus is a better board.

 

Get the ASUS.

 

On another note I aprove your configuration, it's a good pick if you plan to upgrade the GPU down the road. Maybe I'd pick a 240mm rad or a high-end air cooler, but those are details. If you don't plan to upgrade your GPU down the road, I'd recommend getting an i5 and gtx 770 if possible, because the i7 is a bit of an overkill right now, and for the next few years.

 

Since the colour scheme of the MSI is out of the game, I would recommend the 760 windforce by Gigabyte, I saw the new windforce cooler and it's rather impressive.

 

One think I don't get though, you say you don't plan to OC right now, yet you buy a liquid cooler now. I say buy it when you need it - there will be better coolers in the next few years.

[DSD27]

yes if you're going to buy the asus board, dont't buy the msi gaming graphics card, because they have a special feature that works with msi gaming motherboars, and it will be wasted.

I need i7 for editing. I'm not gonna do hardcore gaming so editing is primary

[Duluxdoggy]

how about gigabyte z87 ud3h? looks waaay better than the asus board

[A/C]

If that's the case then I have nothing more to add. A solid build sir!
