Hi everybody,
i plan to build my new pc very soon. I'll use an i5-4590. Since my budget is very limited, what should i get, an asrock H97M-PRO4 or an H87M-PRO4 (wich is 20$ cheaper)? And if i take the h87m-pro4, will i need to upgrade the BIOS? From the asrock site it seems i won't.

Thank you for your attention
 
Solution
Performance wise they're exactly the same, but H87 will support i5 4590 since BIOS P2.00, which is certainly different from 'All'. So you'd need to make sure it comes updated from factory/ vendor.
