I've decided on 2 motherboards to get. An Asus, and MSI motherboard. I always hear Asus is the best, but what about MSI? And what's the difference between these 2 boards?

I read that the Asus has access to Bios in the desktop which seems neat and it has 4 fan connectors for my case which seems ideal? Does the MSI have this also?

This is for a 4790k also

ASUS boards are rock solid, made with great quality and usually lasts very long. I find the ASUS UEFI the best on the market right now. MSI have really stepped up with their motherboards as well for the last 2 generations. But ASUS(and Gigabyte) are just better than all others.
Between those two boards now. Both are pretty good but i prefer asus, there aren't huge differences between the two, but the asus ones comes with sata-express if you're into it. Another thing is that the msi one comes with a slightly better audio card(ALC 1150 vs 892).
I would go for Asus.
