Asus h97 Pro, Plus or B85? Need help ASAP!

Emma5540 · Apr 7, 2015

My setup -
Intel Core i5 4460 LGA1150
Corsair vengeance 8gb RAM
Corsair vs650 650 watt psu
Msi GTX 960
Cooler master force 500 atx cabinet

Should I go for the Asus h97 Pro gamer mobo, or the Asus h97 plus or the Asus b85 Pro gamer mobo?
I cannot go for the ASRock h97 pro4, due to unavailability.
Thank you. Please do reply soon!

Get a H97 - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGA_1150

either PRO or PLUS. See http://pcpartpicker.com/parts/compare/asus-motherboard-h97plus%2Casus-motherboard-h97pro/

Also see http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-2383217/motherboard-tier-list-h97-chipset.html - they are both in tier 1. So both woul;d be good.

I am confused between the Asus H97 Pro and Plus! Both are totally similar, except that the Pro has SATA express, which the Plus doesn't.
But I do not know what the "SATA express" is. Can you explain it to me? Is it very important?
