I know there is a price difference but which one should I purchase and what will the Maximus vi give me that the sabertooth won't?

depends on budget.

sabertooth - looks, TUF components, generally last generations ROG innovations, some fans to "cool" the board

Formula - expensive, watercooling option, ROG armor, soundcard, oc panel port, ROG connect, LEDs on it, supposedly a "better" overclocker (but the OCing myth disproved by Linus and TTL, OCing is moslty chip dependent not mobo)

if you want the ROG features, get the hero board. if you want the clean armor look get the sabertooth, if you want the watercooling and sleek looks, get formula, but all of these are, TBH overpriced compared to some other boards like the MSIs gaming g45

What about the msi mpower max? And do you think MSI make the best motherboards. I really want my pc to be as fast as possible.

The motherboard isnt really a big factor concerning performance. Even with tons of power phases it will over clock very similarly since its more dependent on the chip itself. So get something that has the features you need, possibly omits those you dont need, looks good and stays within budget.

And msi used to have bad rep with mobos, but ive built around 50 systems at work with them this year and none have had any problems whatsoever. As long as you get a board from asus, asrock, gigabyte or msi, you will be fine
