Hi guys,
I need a little help deciding on a motherboard.
I'm building a new gaming rig. I'm going with a i5 4690k CPU, corsair vengeance pro 2133mhz RAM and a R9 290 GPU.
Ideally I wanted a Micro ATX mobo so I could get a Corsair 350D case, but I dont mind choosing another case if I have to get a full ATX board.
So, my question is: which one of these boards would be best suited to the components listed above.
MSI Z87-G43 GAMING

Or MSI Z97M-G43

pcie-30-%28x16%29-vga-dvi-hdmi-dp-mi
For a few months I will probably keep the CPU at stock clocks, but I will be looking to OC it in the near future
Thanks in advance for any help!!
