Hello there I'm new here and new at building pcs. I wish someone could give me a real advice on my choice of components.

My system would be like that
Intel i7 4770k unlocked
8gb corsair vengeance 1600Mhz
Seasonic g series 650w gold cert

Now those I need an advice on

Motherboard
Either Msi z87 g45 gaming
Or asus maximus VI hero c2

Card
Either msi 780ti gaming
Or asus 780ti dc2oc

Now between asus and msi I got 100euro difference

Would that mean a lot?
Is msi a bad choice? Is msi reliable for mobo and card? I mean I wonthe play a lot but do I need to get more expensive asus? Or will i be fine with msi

Those two are great mobos, but I would buy the cheaper motherboard as they won't make any difference in performance unless the other will be really important to me.
Speaking of gpu, Msi and Asus are both equally good. Asus and Msi both are quite normally clocked less than Gigabyte and sapphire. I would give +1 for Msi because it is still higher clocked than asus (unless it's a non dc2 version) and it's Twin Frozr coolers really earn my respect. I would say Msi is equally reliable as any other gpu brand.

MSI has been making solid cards for years, i have owned 5 MSI cards and all 5 are over 6yrs old and still going in my family machines i build for people over the years. Sometimes their clock speeds are not the highest, but their builds are or have been solid for myself. I would chose MSI if i was buying a GTX 780ti.

Answer = get the cheapest of both.

Both motherboards are overpriced. You could get a cheaper one for less that would do everything you want it to, (unless you need all the extra bells and whistles).

Both graphics cards will provide similar performance, and to the best of my knowledge, have decent warranties.
