I am building a computer, mostly for gaming, but with a little video editing and stuff for things like youtube. I will be getting a I7 4770k but cant decide what motherboard to put it on. The ASUS MAXIMUS VI FORMULA, ASUS SABERTOOTH Z87, or the ASUS MAXIMUS VI HERO. If I had to choose today with out any advice, I would probably get the Sabertooth. But would the Formula or Hero provide any performance advantages over it?
Motherboard Advice please

I looked alot before deciding on the Hero as my choice, did a20 or so Haswell builds on a variety of Z87 mobos from Asus, the Rock and GB....Asus seems to have the best handle on the Z87/Haswells, so all would be good choices, the Sabertooth is a good mobo, but has a habit of collecting dust under those panels, I've found the Hero stays just as cool, and actually OCs and handles higher freq DRAM better (which is nice as Haswell scales to DRAM extremely well), the Hero also has the higher end ROG audio, it's a great mobo, use it for testing components for new builds, upgrades, etc and it has taken everything I throw at it, base system is in my sig

Looks good, the PSU is a bit of overkill, even for SLI, 
but then again, I like to have extra also
