Hello all reading this. I have my first build coming up and I was wondering what motherboard would you use ? I was looking at the ASRock Z87E-Itx board(http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/Z87E-ITX/) Then I was looking around if I really was chosing what was best and I came across the MSI Z87I Mini Itx board (http://www.msi.com/product/mb/Z87I.html) and I was thinking we have a keeper then I noticed how close the socket was the the Pci lane and I was like hmm. Anyways what would you go for.

Asrock isn't one of the big 3, and Intel makes CPU's they stopped making motherboards.

Asrock is one of the big 3. Intel does still make motherboards.

 

@GoldenTree 

I say Asrock.

I stand by my opinion on Asrock. They make rock solid Motherboards.
