Get which ever one that will fit in your case. The Gene for a micro atx case, impact for a mini itx, hero/gene/extreme for a standard atx case. All of the boards have pretty much the same stuff so no need to worry.

Just get yourself an MSI GD65 Gaming. ROG has minimal Overclocking improvement.

I like the color scheme of Noctua fans. Deal with it. Forget about the bad memories of the past.

Forget about the bad memories of the past, take the good ones along with you through the present, and look forwards to the good things that will come in the future.

Also, what's your rig's specs?

someone correct me if i'm wrong here, but this is what i can gather:

 

Maximus hero have 4 usb 3.0 + 4 usb 2.0 in the back and 2 usb 3.0 + 4 usb 2.0 somewhere in mid board

 

Maximus formula have 6 usb 3.0 + 4 usb 2.0 in the back and at least 2 usb 3.0 + 4 usb 2.0  somewhere in mid board

 

Maximus extreme have 6 usb 3.0 + 2 usb 2.0 in the back and at least 2 usb 3.0 + 6 usb 2.0 somewhere in mid board

 

this is just reading the spec sheet, so yea...

 

I don't see why you would try to find mobo this way tho - find your budget, see if it works then boom you get your parts :)

 

*edited to separate the lines for easier read

Check out the build: Used to be Obot, now Lilith

Shameless: Me

Take a look at the G45 Gaming. It's cheaper and motherboards don't really affect performance anyway. 

What exactly are you looking for in a motherboard? Sli/crossfire? How many usb 3.0's?
