1-ASRock Fatal1ty H97 Performance Socket 1150 Motherboard
2-Gigabyte GA-H97-D3H Socket 1150 Motherboard
3-MSI H97 GUARD-PRO Socket 1150 Motherboard
asus mobo is not an option because they are very expensive in my country costing even more than cpu so which one is beter ?

Because ROG boards are gamer high end boards. They pack a lot of features and use components that are more expensive than their conventional variants, plus these components are high quality and last a long time to justify their high cost

To all who think ROG is overpriced... think again.

I'd go with Gigabyte if I were you, their UEFI and general performance are really good and user friendly.

For ASRock I would STAY AWAY from ASRock. I had a really bad experience with them (Customer support not communicating with each other, refusing RMAs, DOA boards)... I am never buying any of their boards ever again, not even if they were on sale for $10.

Look I`ve heard and had some good stories with AsRock but bad ones outweigh the good, so I would say no, as for MSI and Gigabyte... Well I`m going to be bias cause I`m a very big Gigabyte fanboy, which I know one should never be a fanboy but oohhh well...

Just look at this and tell me how the MSI can be better than the Gigabyte... They even give better and more info on the Gigabyte!!

Don`t just take it from me man... but I`d say make the right choice, do the right thing!!! Be a man!!!

Well after an ordeal I had with ASRock I had a few years ago, I felt "traumatized" to use ASRock again.

If they improve their customer support i might consider buying them again.

PS: I am an Asus Fanboy, their ROG board aesthetics, build quality and features is just out of this world!

Hahahahaha "traumatized"... Nice!! No I get that and yes ASUS is the benchmark to beat in particular with their ROG boards! Really really nice but you do pay that little bit more, but it`s worth it!!
