Asus Sabertooth z87 or MSI z87 GD-65?

[skylar01128]

Deciding on a motherboard for my new gaming build and am torn between these two. Which one is the overall better board (price excluded) at handling gaming as well as day to day use?

The Sabertooth is the better mobo of the two, OC's better, handles DRAM better, runs cooler, much better quality and QC, I myself won't use MSI mobo for client builds due to the poor QC...A good alternative might want to look at the new Z97 Hero, am setting mine up right this moment, loading all the drivers as I type The Z87 Hero is also a great one (have mine in sig)

ASRock 990FX Extreme9 is also another excellent choice, one of the best overclocking boards also.

**Z87, not 990FX**

The 990FX is an AMD mobo, looks like they are looking for Intel, anyway asking about Z87 (1150) same as the Z97 socket
