Now the Fatal1ty killer is known to be a good performer, but the H97 performance version seems to be a bit more in a mixed situation? Would you add 10-15 dollars for a better motherboard, or is this one actually a good motherboard?
I prefer one with a good audio chip, this one has purity sound with the ALC 1150 codec.
Alternative options:
MSI H97 Gaming 3
Gigabyte GA-H97-Gaming 3
Gigabyte H97 G1.Sniper H6
