Hi all!

I'm working on an mITX build and I'm torn between two mobos. I looked at the review of ITX boards here on Toms Hardware and I'm still confused. This pc will be used for gaming so naturally I wanted to go with the ASUS Maximus VI Impact. Now its an expensive board but usually worth the money however it puts me over budget. Now a board that will fit into my budget was recommended by the TH guide was the Gigabyte GA-Z87N-WIFI. Now basically my question is will the gigabyte board be sufficient or should I wait a few till I get enough to buy the ROG board? I know there are other boards in between these two but its only like a 70 dollar difference to get the ROG which is pretty much the best so should I bite the bullet and spend the extra 70 for the best or pocket my cash and go with the gigabyte board? Please help!
 
go with the Gigabyte board as it will suit your needs, the ROG board is just less features, decent OC ect... But the Z87 Chipset is great for OC on the gigabyte Board. No noticeable performance difference and in fact hardly any difference so just spend your money and get the Gigabyte Motherboard as it is a better motherboard. ITX Boards are tiny and the Z87 is ATX, ATX has far more room for features and is a decent size.
