If you are going to do some heavy gaming, I'd say the Maximus vii Hero. Why?
Heres why:
- Tons of gaming features (such as RAMdisk, Sonic Radar etc...)
- Very durable with materials used to ensure your mobo will last for a long time
- you can overclock your CPU to a stable speed of 5 GHz!!!
- Looks aesthetically amazing, the chipset lights up too.
I love this board so much, and I am sure you will love it too
