Every board will have what you need, just pick the one that looks the nicest and from the brand you like.

And it will all be fine.

If you want my attention, quote meh! D: or just stick an @samcool55 in your post :3

I would just get Asus Z97-A if you have money to spend and the colour fits your build.

having used just about everyone of toughs boards I would go with the Gigabyte or the MSI board. I have had several Maxims Hero go bad on me and personally thing the GENE is more feature rich for about the same price. I have not used the Asrock boards due to friends that have used them and them dieing on them so im not able to comment on the quality of them.

Asrock boards really do not fail more than others anymore. They used to be slightly less reliable, but today they are rock solid.

how about Gigabyte Z97-D3h ?

is it good in this range ?

http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4961#ov

Its a decent board I would spend the extra money and get the UDH3 over that one just because it not in an ugly yellow but all of Gigabytes ultra durable come with a 3-5 year warranty so even if you have an issue you can always send it back for repairs.

X99 boards aren't rock solid for ASRock. Of course, I don't think they're solid for anyone...  :P

Nearly every X99 board needs a BIOS update before use.  :angry:
