Ok,the SOC z97 looks baller, but is its price justifiable? Or should i go with the cheaper asrock?

Get the Z97 Krait by MSI.

 

or Asus Z97 E

[The Official Czex]

MSI Z97 Krait Edition.

 

Too cheap and has issues with QC.

Too cheap and has issues with QC.

Nope have one myself.

That is more expensive than the SOC one... The gigabyte board is way better

QC issues don't apply to every MOBO. An occasional bad apple Krait will slip by with broken RAM slots and PCIe lane issues.

The krait over the SOC? i thought that the SOC was one of the best boards

Doesn't mean he will get it.

You're thinking of the SOC Force I believe.

[Nacho Marco Segui]

You're thinking of the SOC Force I believe.

Yes,the one i linked

[FruitBasketSilex]

Ah, sorry. Didn't click the links, just saw everyone saying SOC.

I'd grab the SOC Force.

It doesn't, but the risk is pretty high on Krait boards for the Z97 chipset. He can go with it if he buys from a reputable retailer like Newegg or Amazon.
