Hi guys,I'm gonna get an Haswell i5,and I'm confused about selecting a board. I thought I could get the Asus B85M-G. But then,I saw this ATX board from ASRock,only for a few more bucks. But I couldn't find any reviews about this board-ASRock H87 Pro4. So I was wondering if I should go with this or the Asus one. Help me with this please? And,I was actually worried about the quality and reliability of ASRock in comparison to that of Asus.
 
I'm not overclocking. But I found the ASRock to have some extra features like more USB 3.0,more fan connectors,and more SATA III ports. All these for some extra bucks,which I can afford. I'm more worried about the quality. The quality of components in Asus is awesome,as far as I'm aware of. But I have not much experience with the Rock. Can you help me?
 
Okay,thanks..Guess I'll go for the Asus then. Anway,I don't plan to upgrade my system anytime soon. But like you said,I shouldn't waste my money for those extra ports. Moreover,Asus is said to be the best one out there,isn't it?
I would've gone with the ASRock,if they had good service in my area,and if the online store I'm buying it from delivered it quick. 😛
Asus has good service in my locality,and it gets delivered in 2 days. So I think I'll get the Asus. Actually,I thought of the Rock for it's extra features.
In between,does an H87 gives noticeably better performance than a B85 chipset? I mean,I'm not overclocking. But in everyday use,will they make a difference?
