Asus z87 plus vs pro

Rezylee · May 21, 2014

So i know the pro comes with wifi built in. I dont know how to have internet with the z87 plus. So which one would be better for wireless connection?

Ahmadjon · May 21, 2014

Both would be perfect for Wi-Fi but for "Plus" motherboard you have to buy additional Wi-Fi adapter I would go for Plus and get USB 3.0 or PCI-E X1 Wi-Fi adapter for it

However wired connection is always better than any Wi-Fi, it's not so difficult to set either Wi-Fi and wired internet connection

Which one is faster: pci or usb 3.0?

Rezylee :

Both would be the same

I would lean towards the Asus Z87 PRO. It has more features.

What CPU are you planning on and what will you be using the rig for

Rezylee · May 21, 2014

Mostly everything, but leaning into gaming. Planning on having i5 -4440 but possibly i5-4670k

Tradesman1 · May 21, 2014

I'd suggest the 4670K and either mobo will be good, with the Plus (costs less) you can pick up a decent USB adapter for wireless (which I myself prefer), the Pro is about $190 and the Plus $160 so may come out a few bucks ahead that way

Just get the Z87 PRO. There is a price difference of only $11. The WIFI adapter alone costs more than that.

+1.
Yeah! didn't see that

Definitely get Pro because of 9$ price difference

GO PRO.

I thought the price difference would be more, too, I was going to post both motherboards until I saw the prices.

Tradesman1 · May 22, 2014

I just looked at the Egg, $30 difference there

Ahmadjon · May 22, 2014

Tradesman1 :

Yeah! Egg's price a bit higher however NCIX US sells "Plro" board for 168$ after 20$ rebate

And Egg sells "Plus" for 159$.
