I live in TN btw.

these boards are ment for overclocking btw.
both the boards are mostly the same only thing ranger is a ROG board.


if ur price range is that then I would suggest u to go for ranger only or spend a bit more for the asus Hero vii.
future proof and pretty stable board, if u wana upgrade to an i7 in future.

Go MSI Z97 GAMING 5(Tier One-Class B board) would be better and cheaper than Z97-A(Tier Two board),nice overclocking performance ,perfect quality you should go.

Motherboard tier list: Z97 chipset
Tier One-Class B: Enthusiast Level. Premium featured MoBos with SLI capability, M.2 and enough power to run any current CPUs with very high-extreme OCing capabilities. Just a step lower than Extreme Enthusiast boards, they’re no less than feature laden. Solid quality, shall serve you long.


Z97X-Gaming 5 (not to be confused with MX version)
Z97 GAMING 5
EXTREME6 (AC as well)
UD5H (BK as well)
Z97-PRO (AC as well)
MAXIMUS VII HERO/ RANGER/ GENE/ IMPACT/ FORMULA (great boards for OCing)
GA-Z97X-SOC
Z97 FTW
Z97X-Gaming 7
MSI GAMING 7
PROFESSIONAL
MPOWER (MAX AC edition as well)
DELUXE (NFC&WLC edition as well)
Gaming 9 AC (ACK as well)
Z97-GD65 Gaming
OC Formula (mATX version included)
PRO GAMER
Z97X-SOC-FORCE (no M.2, but great for OCing, has SATAe)
Sabertooth Mark1/ Mark 2 (no M.2, great for OCing)
G1 SNIPER (No M.2, but this MoBo hit 5Ghz mark stable in some reviews)
Z97 Gryphon

MSI after sales service is pretty shit in india.
gigabyte or asus is the best option here.

You live in india?Why do you know that?
