Posted July 15, 2016 So I could get the MSI now for $173 CAD (including shipping) or wait for the Asus to be on sale. I'll be waiting to buy the other parts anyways (money for the build is a little tight, so I'm waiting for sales to buy). Can someone with more knowledge than me explain if there is a reason I should wait for the Asus? Or should I just get the MSI now?

Posted July 15, 2016 they are very similar except for a few features. I guess it comes down to personal preference. Asus has 1 more usb 3.1 port and display port BUT worse audio chip. MSI has reinfornced pic-e slots and sexier looks so idk. Im biased toward the asus for obvious reasons Core i7 7700k Kabylake stock + Kraken x52 | ASUS Z170-A | 8GB DDR4 2133MHz HyperX | ASUS GeForce GTX 1060 STRIX 6GB | 250GB SSD Samsung 850 EVO + 2TB HDD WD RE4 | Seasonic X-Series 650w | Corsair 460x RGB | Win 10 Pro 64 bit | Corsair M65 PRO RGB Mouse | Corsair K70 RGB RapidFire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted July 16, 2016 Author I figured I might as well wait. The Asus seems to be the more popular item anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
