Hello!
I'm building a new computer with an Intel Core i5-4670K and two modules of RAM, as in newegg.com. It won't have any dedicated graphics card, nor any expansion card apart from a TP-LINK TL-WN881ND. The disk drive of my choice is the SDSSDHP-064G-G26.
Given that, what motherboard would suit my needs? I've heard very good things about ASUS, and I've already come across these two. However, I'm not sure what are the differences between them (aside from the size factor and the number of ports), and I wonder if there is a cheaper motherboard with the same specifications.
As a note, I use Linux, so I need the BIOS/UEFI, as well as the LAN and the audio chipset, to be fully Linux friendly. And, although I'm not going to overclock the processor nor the RAM, it would be nice if it was also friendly in that matter.
I hope there's a penguin out there to share opinions. Thanks in advance!
