Hey guys, building my new rig and can't decide which mobo to pick. As the thread title says I'm wondering between ASUS Z87-A & MSI Z87-G45 GAMING. Can you help me sorting this out? Thanks in advance.
ASUS without question - I have the Sabertooth Z87 and it's a fantastic, very well made board. Have a look at my gaming rig in this video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oLJrJU-D-fo
The Asus A, far and away better of the two, Asus has the best handle on the Z87 chipset , both the Rock and Gigabyte are close....MSI is behind in managing heat and OCing, not to mention they have poor Quality Control and support
Which would you pick between ASRock Z87 Extreme4 & MSI Z87-G45 GAMING?
As the prev comment pointed, simply the MSI should be your last option if you plan to overclock and willing to keep you cpu and Mobo cool and optimised.

There is no reason to bash MSI and OP it is just as good a choice as the others mentioned. In that price range the quality is about the same across the board.
