Need help with Mobo purchase
So I plan on replacing my 8350 with an i5 4690k. I'm having a hard time with mobos but I think I've narrowed it down.

The first one is actually a Combo Deal on NewEgg and I'm not sure if it's worth it.
ASUS Z97-PRO & i5 4690k combo
ASUS SABERTOOTH Z97 MARK2
ASUS Z97-A
MSI Z97-Gaming 5

I know ASUS has good customer service and MSI I hear is kind of meh. But I always hear of good things when it comes to their mobos. The only MSI item I've ever owned was my old 8800GT and that thing was a tank. I really love the look MSI has on their boards compared to ASUS.

Thanks

Damn well I missed out on the combo deal so there goes that. Is Gigabyte a good mobo company? I've never used any of their products and don't know anyone who has them for their build, so my knowledge of them is limited.

Should I not consider MSI?


MSI i personally don't prefer at all its not a good brand at least for motherboard according to my experience ad yes asus and gigabyte are the 2 best brands of motherboard out there asus is a bit pricy but gigabyte is reasonable and provide good quality board i have used both asus and gigabyte boards.

All are very good motherboards for brands either go for Asus or gigabyte.

Z97 pro is an excellent board and for gigabyte at less price you can go for the gigabyte gaming 3 excellent board with features similar to asus z97 pro at lower price.
