I thought about the Pro both with Z87 and Z97 and in both cases went the Hero, OCs better, run cooler (particularly the Z97), handles higher end DRAM better...
Is there a really big difference between the ASUS ATX DDR3 2600 LGA 1150 Motherboards Z97-PRO (Wi-Fi AC) and ASUS Z97-A ATX DDR3 2600 LGA 1150 Motherboards Z97-A besides the wifi part?
Honestly, Just get a motherboard that will fit your needs, if you are planning on gaming a motherboard will probably boost you 2-3 fps, any motherboard would do you fine in other words.
