Hello, now i have a doubt with this motherboards.

I know the Pro Gamer it's better than the M-G but i want to save some money, i and see there is a little changes between this two but don't know if the changes are too radical in this models.

I'm gonna use a Intel Core i5 4440, Kingston DDR3 8GB (2x4) 1600Mhz, PSU Corsair GS600 and a HDD Seagate 500GB SATA 3. Not GPU for now, but i'm planning use a R9 270X later. And not planning on usea SLI or Crossfire.

B85M-G is still a good option or i go for the Pro Gamer? I need a good motherboard that can support that stuff with no problem and is durable for some years, and i refer to time and can update.

(Consider this two are my only option to choose and the difference in price is around $50, don't ask why).
 
Solution
different brand, but better for value. I would go for the GA-H97M-D3H, since you can't overclock (Only a tiny bit) and aren't going to Xfire/SLI down the road.

What do you think about Gibabyte GA-H97M-D3H and GA-Z97M-D3H models? are better than that ASUS? between those two there are some little changes that i think it's not much difference but the H97 it's more cheaper.

In performance and quality between GA-H97M and B85M-G which one it's better or what would you recommend more?
