I am planning to build my own gmaing rig. These are the parts that I am going to buy.
Asus H97-pro MotherBoard
Intel 4790K CPU
2 x 8GB RAM
2 x WD Blue HDDs
SAPPHIRE R9 290-TRI-X 4GB Graphics Card
Cooler Master V750 PSU
However I need to cheapen it up a little. I am thinking of getting an Asus H87-pro.
The difference between these 2 that I care about is
-Asus H97-pro has Fan Xpert 3 but H87-pro has Fan Xpert 2 (I think its important unless it can be upgraded?)
-Asus H97-pro has 6 Phase digital power design but H87-pro has only 4
-Asus H97-pro has Crystal Sound 2(Not sure whether its important)
Is it worth cheapening the H97-pro for the H87-pro?
I am currently not considering overclocking but I might overclock a little when the whole build gets too slow to play future games.
I will save USD$30 if I go for the H87-pro
Do suggest any other motherboards that are good too
