Please convince me strongly XD. I'm kind of in a debate on whether to with the:
>MSI Z97 gaming 5 = $160
http://www.msi.com/product/mb/Z97_GAMING_5.html#hero-overview
>MSI H97 gaming 3 = $120
http://www.msi.com/product/mb/H97_GAMING_3.html#hero-overview
>MSI Z97 guard-pro = $120
http://www.msi.com/product/mb/Z97_GUARDPRO.html#hero-overview
Matched with a Sapphire R7 260X GPU (for now will upgrade)!
Just a overview of the boards for the lazy one who would look them up :/
-As you can see the first board is obviously the most expense. It has overclocking (I'm only buying a i3 4130 for now) and all the bells and whistles of MSI gaming series. It also matches my case fan mounts perfectly.
-The second is $40 cheaper but I don't live in America so that around $300 difference for me. The only difference is one is overclock and the other can't whatsoever. It also matches my case fan mounts perfectly.
-The 3 is the same price as the Non overclock H97 gaming 3. It doesn't have the bells and whistles (which is pretty darn good) but its fully able to overclock. I would be able to use all the fans without splitter.
THE OVERVIEW STOPS HERE.
Now for the question: Is overclocking so great (my kind of a tinker with computers, I like to dig alot too) that i should get the $160 board with the bells and whistles and overclocking and allows me to use all my fans on my case or settle for the non overclock $120 board which allows me to use all my fans on my case or should I take overclocking on the guard-pro but don't get the neat bells and whistles on the gaming series boards nor allows me to use all the fans on my case? If you personally know a board that looks exceptional and compete with the above let me know.
