Hello everyone,

I am building a new gaming rig and i have some doubts about which motherboard to pick.

I am buying an i-4770k, 16gb ram (2400/cl10), 2 x gtx780 sli.
I plan to do some mild overclocking (4500-4600hz max) and use it mainly for gaming at 1440p.

I have been reading some reviews about MSI Z87 XPOWER and MPOWER MAX motherboards, and i am not sure if the MPOWER MAX would be enough or if i will have a more stable, easier to overclock rig with the XPOWER.

Here in Europe price difference is about 150 euros between them.

Thank you very much for all your answers.

Mpower Max would be fine. But the Xpower gives a slight more overclocking ability than the MPower Max.
And XPower has more features than the MPower MAX. And i guess you dont need those features so Mpower Max will be the best or an MPower Board.

Hi.I'd like to ask about the MSI Z87 MPOWER. I ordered the MSI Z87 MPOWER Max but was just told today it wasn't in stock so I went for the MSI Z87 MPOWER. They tell me there is only 2 differences between them but it won't matter much. Can you tell me if that is correct? I am not going to overclock anything. Thank you in advance.

The Mpower Max have better cooling (the same cooling with the Mpower but with Extended Super Pipe), 3 Memory Phases, more USB Ports. And that's pretty much it.
