I am unsure of which board to get. I would like too stick with Asus and i plan on doing some overclocking at some point with this build. Is there a difference between these boards? And are there any other boards that can be recommended for around the same price?

Also if anyone knows how to setup 2 different speaker systems to a pc and set 2 different programs to out put their audio to different speaker systems please let me know as well cause i want to get a sound bar for moives and play games at the same time on my Logitech speakers.

Both boards should work fine installing Windows 7. By the way, the Z87-PLUS also features "some overclocker friendly options" according to some ASUS Z87 launch article.


The Z87-PLUS features more 2 more SATA 6gb/s and USB 3.0 ports. Other than that, they are identical. If you are willing to spend the extra $10, go for it.
