But folks around here like to swear by asus. I think you should just pick the one that gives you a better feeling in your stomach when you look at it, or that fits a theme of the build you want to do, since in all likelihood either will work great.

It would be best to spend a little more now to have more options later, but I know that isn't always an option. But if you were going to buy doom it's a no brainer.

I might go for Asus, because I've been using an Asus H61m Le, super cheap mobo, lasting 5 years of constant use, and still goes! What about the Msi Z170M Mortar? Why did I study Haskell?

What about the Msi Z170M Mortar? As i've said, I've only owned Gigabyte and Asus boards so i can only go off of the opinions of others, same as you. I'd say if it has the features you want in the price range you are in then you should get it. If it doesn't live up to expectations you can return it. Honestly, unless you're going for EXTREME overclocks, any major brand motherboard should work. As much as I only bought gigabyte and Asus, that's also because I've gotten ridiculously good deals on them. If there was another brand that had what I wanted I would probably grab it. Buy what you need and what you're gonna be happy with. If getting 4.8ghz vs 4.6 ghz is the most important thing for you, you might want to go with Asus. If the lack of i/o panel is going to bother you in a month and you think you'll find yourself annoyed with the lack of options then go with MSI or Asrock.

Posted June 10, 2016 Author I found a promotion in a store, that has a MSI Z170 Gaming M3 for the same price as a Asus Z170-P, which one should I go? I'm more used to Asus boards, but is it worth the MSI over the Asus? Why did I study Haskell? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted June 10, 2016 Author Hello, so I need to buy a new motherboard. And I have already discussed here about that, but more options showed up! MSI Z170 Gaming M3 is with a discount in a store, for 125$ and the Asus Z170-A is at 175$, is it worth the 50$ more? Why did I study Haskell?

Any variation motherboard to motherboard will be greater than the quality difference on average between those two options.
