what formfactor, how many gpus are you going to use? do you overclock it? what color?

 

Dark color is ok, 1 GPU, over clocking is something I would like to do yes :)

Ok I have these in mind:

  • ASROCK Z97 Extreme 6
  • Asus Z97 Pro Gamer

Can anyone tell me which is the better please? Z97 Extreme 6 is more for my color liking and preference but the Z97 Pro Gamer has been recommended

already here also its more expensive, I dont mind the extra cost really, just I want to buy the best mobo for my computer, so please... suggestions?

 

Thanks

I really like the MSI Z97 Gaming 5, but I currently use the Gigabyte Z97X-SLI which is quite a bit cheaper and that does have almost everything you could want.
