Hello,
Here is the best comparison of the two motherboards:
http://game.msi.com/us/product/motherboard/z97-gaming/models
I had the chance to buy the Gaming 5 for $95 (after $10 rebate) or the Gaming 7 for $129 (after $10 rebate). I decided to go with the Gaming 7, because I felt the difference in price was small enough to not compromise my build with potential features that the 7 may have.
However, I did not have time to research the two beforehand, since I had already driven far to a Microcenter and found that there was a bundle deal with processor. Also if the processor matters in this debate, I got a 4790k.
Is someone here knowledgeable enough to tell me what the major differences between these two are? Some of those things, like PWM Phases for example, I am not knowledgeable in. Anything else that sticks out?
Was this the right purchase for $35 more?
Thank you very much for your help.
