I need a motherboard that can survive at least 4 years. Only used for productivity (office, internet, a lot of programming, photo editing with Photoshop CS6, HD video playback, music listening). No gaming.
Will be used at least 12 hours every day for 4 years non-stop (I will study computer science in college). I do not want to be bothered to replace any PC components during that time.
I will use Intel Xeon E3-1275 V2 (I think this is quite fast) with Intel HD Graphics P4000 (great HD video decoding & certified for Photoshop CS6), cooled with Corsair H100i.
Price does not matter, I do not want low quality motherboard, what matters is simplicity (this is why I did not choose discrete graphics), stability, reliability and durability.
I need help based on your knowledge and experience, which of the two motherboards below is more appropriate. If you have a better candidate motherboard, please let me know.
ASUS Sabertooth Z77 (with its TUF components) or ASUS P8C WS (with 24x24 initiative workstation-optimized).
