It's time for me to finally build a PC from the ground up. I've got two mobo's lined up but from whatever reason my gut is telling me to get a second opinion.
ASUS Z87 Pro:

MSI Z87-GD65:

With the ASUS, I get the easy DIY setup and labeling which is big for me since this is my first DIY build. With MSI though, I get the Military Class 4 durability (whatever that means and does it matter?). I'll be running an i5-4670 along with a GTX780 from ASUS. Both are pretty much the same price and under my budget for a mobo ($200). Any help and input is greatly welcomed and heck, if someone can recommend something that could be a better choice, please put it up for suggestion. Thank you in advance for you time!!
