I'm planning on getting one of those motherboard specified in the title but i can't simply decide which one is best for gaming. I was thinking getting a h97-pro gamer but at a local shop i used to buy things doesn't have it and only those two are around..

They did said about a MSI h97 pro gamer but idk if i can trust the quality of MSI motherboards.
I'm gonna pair it with a i5 4460 and GTX 960/970 soon. I'm just asking around at this moment because i'm still saving money to buy those motherboard/cpu/gpu

help me out mates :)

All H97 boards (and even B85) can handle i5 very well. Both ASUS and MSI are big name and good.
Electronic have a lot of luckiness. It may last for really long time or it may dead in few month (even days).
I have used a MSI board for 7 years (still using it to comment right now) have no problems at all.

Just find something your local shop have ALOT and it should be a popular and big name (ASUS, Gigabyte, MSI, etc...). Because it will easier to make it have faster warranty service when it have problem.
I don't know about your place but my place, I could buy MSI things directly from distributor and if I have to go warranty, they will replace for me a brand-new, sealed one in first 6 months of warranty period, and a good to go one after...

If MSI is popular in your place and if you are in budget and want a board that would handle i5 and GTX 970, I will recommend you take the MSI B85M-E45. Best bang for the buck.
