Dollar has raised and we europeans are paying more euro for every dollar. Then have to upgrade this topic mates :)

The plan is to use my intel i3-4160 a couple of years in mid-range mobo, then upgrade to an overclockeable CPU, like Haswell refresh or Devils Canyon. So keep in mind I'll use the motherboard for some OC, gaming, and heavy multitasking, but without abusing.

Between 127€ and 166€, delivery already included

- Gigabyte Z97X SLI, 127€
- Gigabyte Z97X Gaming 3, 129€
- Gigabyte Z97X Gaming 5, 137€

- Asrock Fatality Z97 Killer, 142€
- Asus Z97 Pro Gamer. 144€
- Gigabyte G.1 Sniper Z97 146€

- Asrock Z97 Extreme 4 148€
- Gigabyte Z97X-UD3H 149€
- Asus Z97 A 151€

I think my 3 finalist would be the:

- Asus Z97 Pro Gamer vs Asrock Z97 Extreme 4 vs Gigabyte Z97X Gaming 5/Z97X-UD3H

I need a durable motherboard, with solid performance, some gaming impulse, and some OC features for the future.

I trust Gigabyte more than Asrock, but Asrock are solid and great value motherboards, and Asus has also lot to offer.

What would u raccomand abot this prices? Want to read your opinions.
Thanks a lot folkes!!:D
