Hi everyone

I am wondering which motherboard is better I am getting the corsair 450D case. Is one better than the other which one is better in the long run? My cpu and gpu are going to be i7 4790k and Gtx 780 or 780 ti. Any help greatly appreciated

the reasons are I want to keep as much room as I can for airflow in my case and also on both amazon and newegg the z97m Plus has recieved 5 star rating. The z97c isnt rated 5 stars on either site so thats why I thought maybe go with the plus maybe its better

The only reason for going full ATX is if you are planning to get 3 GPUs.

If you will not be this, then just get the mATX. It has better specs and no useless slots (especially when the Asus Z97m Plus gives you 4 RAM slots, 6 SATA3 and two slot gap between PCI-E slots for airflow if you will be doing SLI/CF).
