I'm building a new gaming PC and I'm having trouble finding the best MB for it. Budget is important, so I'm not looking for anything special. My priorities are stability, quality (so it won't break in like 2 years or so) and performance for gaming. I don't want to overclock. And also I prefer mATX because I'm planning to use mini tower case (I'd like to have my new PC small). So far I found these MBs which I think can satisfy my needs (but because they have new chipsets and they aren't high end, I can't find any reviews or benchmarks, so I'm asking for help here):
Asus H97M-PLUS
Gigabyte GA-H97M-D3H
MSI H97M-G43
At first I was considering Z97 MBs, because I thought they would be better. But as I understand the only difference between H97 and Z97 is the ability to overclock (am I right or is there anything else?).
So other MBs that I was considering before were:
MSI Z97M-G43
Gigabyte GA-Z97M-D3H
Asus Z97M-Plus
I also looked for better MBs, but I'm not sure if they are worth the higher price (I don't know in what way they can be better for me). I found these with slighty higher price that the ones I mentioned above:
MSI Z97-G43 GAMING
MSI H97 GAMING 3
MSI Z97M Gaming
MSI Z97-G45 GAMING
Gigabyte GA-Z97X-UD3H
So to summarize my questions:
Are there any difference between same MBs with H97 and Z97 other then the ability to overclock?
Which MB from the first three should I buy or is there any better MB for me from the others that I mentioned or should I buy something other?
Oh and my PC would have GTX660, Core i5 4590 and two 1600mhz RAMs.
Thank you very much for your answers.
