I was wondering which board I should get between the ASUS Maximus VII Hero or the EVGA Z97 FTW. I was going to get the ASUS VII Hero and was about to order the parts, but then I noticed an amazing -$80 combo with the i7-4790K, which would equal about $150 savings on just that combo from the current EVGA sale.
What do you guys think? The EVGA Z97 FTW is actually more expensive, but is $50 off from the EVGA sale (15th Anniversary).
