Asus or Gigabyte

[itrue21]

I was trying to choose between the 2 but could never find an answer. Which is a better mother bored 

 

Asus Z87-A DDR3 1600 LGA 1150 Motherboard

 

or

 

Gigabyte Z87 LGA 1150 CrossFireX HDMI DVI ATX Motherboard (GA-Z87-D3HP)  

I am using a Intel/Nvidia Build

 

i5 4th gen and gtx 760.

[Sarcasm]

Asus, because Gigabyte has retarded warranty terms.

[EpicGeekonFire]

IMO Asus is better made... Gigabyte is just crap.

[Norwegiantweaker]

In ASUS we stand. or something like that.

[Hirad123]

Asus is the god of motherboards. JJ is our Jesus.

[MuffinTopMike]

I love both brands but I probably like Gigabyte a littler more.

Currently have the Z87-A and it is great. AI Suite 3 is useful and doesn't have bugs so far and their technical support is great.

Gigabyte doesn't exactly have a reputation of making crappy boards.

Asus...

ASUS Z87-K DDR3 1600 LGA 1150 Motherboard

if you want to save money I'd recommend looking at AMD as they are very bare bones for the minimal user, will get you through the door.

Neither does Asus *IMO*

Things like the g1 sniper are good but the lower end is pretty meh

Asus doesn't make bad boards either.

It has less features like not having DTS Connect, Optical out, less usb ports, and a 4 phase instead of the 8 phase on the Z87-A. So if you are planning to overclock, the Z87-A is a better choice imo.

 

press customize table and uncheck all motherboards except these two to see the differences.

I don't plan to overclock or SLI just normal gaming but I do want to be able to max out my graphics just not OC and I am trying to keep it as cheap as possible as this will be my first PC build ever. I plan on staying with the 4th gen i5 and the gtx760 unless the gtx660 gives almost the same performance. Can anybody help me here. I do not wan t to SLI or overclock and I want to keep this build around the $1000 range.

If you don't plan to do SLI/Crossfire or overclock consider something like Asus B85-Plus, B85M-E, or B85M-G.

asus all the way

[hiyayhi]

I love both brands, but it says it all when I tell you that in my two systems both the boards are ASUS.

 

I built a budget system for a mate with a GIGABYTE board and it has been super solid though.

Ya If you aren't buying their top stuff Asus is always better.
