Both are excellent. I use a lot of MSI boards at work but I have had ASUS boards for some home rigs. It comes down to features. which board has the features you want? I usually look to see if it has M.2 or Sata express so I have room to upgrade in the future, I also look to see which board has the number of PCI express or regular PCI slots depending on the application. at home I look for boards that have 2 PCIex16 slots and plenty of PCIex1 slots. at work I look for boards with lots of regular PCI slots so it is backwards compatible with older hardware.

I think this one: http://www.computeruniverse.net/en/products/90549893/msi-z97-gaming-5.asp and ASUS ROG VII HERO has same feautures, except MSI has 1 pcie slot more. Both have M.2 support, both are awesome and nice looking. Im BIG BIG ROG fan but MSI has awesome mobos too. Difference is 30€ but i'm ready to pay 30€ more. Where are MOBO experts when you need them :D

Thanks! I know thats not a suitable queston for this thread but im also getting new monitor. Choosing between BENQ XL2720Z and XL2420Z. Difference is 100€ and XL2720Z is 8cm bigger because its 27'inch. What should i get? Since 24'inch is ''too big'' for our eyes i think i should get XL2420Z... I'd be very thankfull to you with this one. Both are 144hz right?
