Hey guys. This isn't a question of which board to get. I aleady bought both. No, the question is which one is better for running pretty stock and which one has better utilitites/apps/OC's better?
I bought both a GIGABYTE GA-Z87X-UD4H and an ASROCK z87 extreme6 MB for 2 builds im doing for my parents. I have never bought a gigabyte or asrock board before but these were both rated pretty well and had a quick overview here on the site as well. My dads computer will be set up and left pretty stock. I probably wont be messing too much with most of the apps unless there are any particularly good ones, and i definitely wont be messing with OC'ing on his. My mothers on the other hand may get a bit of tweaking done to it since my niece and her will be gaming on it more.
So i need to know which one to use with wich build. I think i heard the ASROCK has a better BIOS interface and utilities, but im not sure which OC's better. Can anyone give me some suggestions? Im also gonna need to look into a good graphic card for my moms build. Id rather go with Nvidia over ATI for hers but am not really familiar with the current ones out. But i'll ask about that on the proper board after i do a bit more research
heres the specs on the computer if anyone was curious. Just gonna link the pcpartpicker page i used to keep track of stuff as i ordered it:
