I'm currently planning to build a pc and I can't make up my mind :( I will be doing 1000% gaming and I can't decide on a motherboard. I will be using an i5 4670k, gpu is gonna be a gtx780, using a xonar dx and I'm using a test bench as a case(don't judge pls) :D

 

Choice 1 : MSI Z87 Gd-65 Gaming  -  seen good reviews

 

Choice 2 : Asus Maximus 6 hero  -  ROG = gaming?

 

Choice 3 : Asus Sabertooth z87  -  Protection from dust good for open test bench?

Console optimisations and how they will effect you | The difference between AMD cores and Intel cores | Memory Bus size and how it effects your VRAM usage |
How much vram do you actually need? | APUs and the future of processing | Projects: SO - here

Intel i7 5820l @ with Corsair H110 | 32GB DDR4 RAM @ 1600Mhz | XFX Radeon R9 290 @ 1.2Ghz | Corsair 600Q | Corsair TX650 | Probably too much corsair but meh should have had a Corsair SSD and RAM | 1.3TB HDD Space | Sennheiser HD598 | Beyerdynamic Custom One Pro | Blue Snowball

Hm.. Z87-A. Cheaper and comes with an Sli bridge, so i assume its sli certified. What more do you need?

 

 

But since you're using a test bed.. how about the UD3H? has voltage read points, which could be nice for those who have an open rig and know how to use a multimeter.. AND cheaper..
