I bought my case and I have a processor (i5-4670K) but now I am looking for a motherboard. Originally, I had my mind set on the MSI board but I keep reading negative reviews on MSI. I personally love the board because of the automatic overclocking capabilities. I recently found out that ASUS has a similar product with the same chipset as well. I am having a difficult time deciding on what I should buy. I'm open for any suggestions. My budget for the board is less than $200.

Thank you.

I have the MSI Gaming 3 with the same processor and it works great. MSI have had bad quality control in the past but they're quite good now. I say go for the G5! You'll be able to get a nice OC out of it and the BIOS is great. I wouldn't use the auto OC though, anyway. :)
