Which motherboard should I choose Maximus VII Ranger or Maximus VII Hero?What's the difference between the two (beside LED, some extra SATA ports and apparently Hero overclocks better). I don't plan to overclock.

You can also name some alternatives.

Thanks.
 
Nothing really significanty, other than what you already mentioned, both are great boards and you can't go wrong with either. I'd go with Z97 EXTREME3, as you don't plan to OC, and you get much of the other benefits of ROG boards (except M.2). Or Z97X Killer for the M.2, Ranger if you want the 'ROG' name. Hero is not really required if you won't OC.
