I'm building a gaming computer and I'm off to a good start, but I can't decide on a Motherboard. I was thinking either the Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UD5H or the MSI Z87 MPower Max. I like both and they both seem to be quality motherboards, but the MSI MPower seems like it's a bit too much for me because I don't have an interest in overclocking. Anyways here are my specs so far so please recommend another if it will work and is good for gaming.

CPU: Intel Core i5-3470 3.2GHz Quad-Core Processor
Case: NZXT CA-PH530-R1 ATX Full Tower Case
OS: Windows 8 (OEM) (64bit)

Those are my specs so far, I'm far from finished, but please let me know if you know a good motherboard for a reasonable price that will work with these specs.

Well for starters the MSI Z87 is an LGA1150 socket motherboard so it will not work with the i5-3470 which is a LGA1155 socket processor. Make sure you have the right socket for the procesor on the motherboard.

Oh yeah, thanks! I completely overlooked that when I was going through and comparing them.
