I just purchased an Intel i5 4670K, ASUS Z87-A Motherboard and Corsair H80i Water CPU Cooler. I was debating on which motherboard to buy: ASUS Z87-A ($155) vs. ASUS TUF SABERTOOTH Z87 ($260) vs. ASUS Z87-PRO ($175). I went with the ASUS Z87-A since I was running a little short on cash. I could have still went with one of the more expensive ones but I would have pushed my budget. I am planning on overclocking the 4670K, so will there be a big difference in overclock if I were to have bought one of the more expensive MBs? Do you guys think I should return the ASUS Z87-A and get a more expensive MB?
ASUS Z87-A vs. ASUS TUF SABERTOOTH Z87 vs. ASUS Z87-PRO

id return the h80i. any closed loop cooler other than the h220 from swiftech are a joke from how little performance they would offer over the regular heatsinks. if they charge you a return fee, then keep it
as for the board, the z87-a is fine. the sabertooth is a scam and the pro board isnt that much better. neither of them will overclock noticeably better than one another

You can use this table to work out what the difference between the boards is:

Decide for yourself which features you need and whether they appeal to you. Everyone has different views on these things, so take advice with a grain of salt.
