Hi guys, im building my own pc for the first time, i have already an intel i7 4790k and a Enthoo luxe case, i will be doing sli of gigabyte 970 gtx but now im not sure of wich board should i pick, where i live the msi one costs 179€ (199$) and the asus 229€ (254$) and offers ac unity. Is the difference in the cost really worth it? does the asus justify the cost? I've read good things on both boards really, but my only concern is people talking about msi low quality issues, like the slot on the gpu feelling like going to break, please give me a honest opinion.

Thanks!
 
Solution
Yep the Hero all the way, I won't build on MSI due to their poor QC, I get more trouble calls on their mobos than any 2 other manufacturers put together
