So I'm looking for a low end mobo for my i3/i5 build (Either i3 4130 or i5 4440, kind of undecided yet whether the i5 is worth the £48 extra)

So I've been looking at Asus boards as I'm le to believe they are the best usually and even their low end chipsets feature their impressive 8 channel Audio.

a B85M Chipset will cost about £20 more than a H81M Chipset, the B85 Chipset will feature 2 things that are kind of important to me: 4 DIMM Slots as opposed to 2. And an extra CHassis fan header (As trivial as it is, yes it's important to me)

Now my question is will the B85M Chipset be more reliable than the H81M Chipset?

Fine. I will end this here: B85. No upgrading to Broadwell or anything though.
