So I am upgrading this year finally... I currently have a i7-930 and plan on going up to the i7-4770k. I have pretty well settled on the processor, ram and video card. Hard drives, power supply and case will stay the same.
I am pretty well set on going with a Z87 board as well.
But what brand should I go with for the board? I almost always used Gigabyte brand motherboards in my builds but am wondering if there is any reason to go with a different brand. I did use a MSI board many years back and never had any trouble with it but I went back to Gigabyte boards after that build.
I dont really do any overclocking and I dont typically run SLI but I may at some point get a 2nd video card to go in with the one I get now. I do have a bunch of hard drives internally.
So what brand and/or model to go with?
Is there any reason to go with ASUS over Gigabyte?
