Asus z97-a vs MSI z97 gaming 5

Title says all. Just want to know is the msi board worth the extra $10?

Well, ATM they both sit at $140, so I'd definitely go for the MSI Gaming 5

Worth is something only YOU can determine.
Is there some feature of the msi motherboard that you want that is not present on the asus board?

Not sure, i don't think there's anything huge about the msi that id want better then the asus, im getting a new pc and want a motherboard that will last me about 4 years.

Take a look at this one. The same price as the Asus but one or two levels above

If you're doing a Devil's Canyon build I would advise you get an updated ASUS board first. I can't get mine to post
