ASUS A88XM-PLUS or ASUS A88XM-E?

[Juanchitoman]

Hey Guys!

Can anybody tell me the difference between

ASUS A88XM-PLUS
and
ASUS A88XM-E

(Essentially there is a 4 euros difference, I am just afraid that the PLUS won't be compatible out-of-the-box with the AMD Athlon X4 860K, as the E is newer and is more likely to be compatible out-of-the-box).

These are my potential build specs:

RAM - Crucial 8GB Ballistix Sport 2x4GB DDR3 PC3-12800 1600MHz CL9

Graphics card- Sapphire Dual-X Radeon R9 270X

Processor - AMD Athlon X4 860K

Power Supply - Corsair Builder Series CX500W 80+ Bronze

HD - Western Digital 1TB Caviar Blue 7200rpm 64MB SATA III 3.5

Thank you very much!

I've compared the cpu support list for both motherboards on the asus website.. neither supports the 860k on their first bios release, so, if not updated, both would need an update.. at this point i'd go with the plus, more expandability options...
