Is this a good motherboard? I like the excess of USB 3.0 ports and expansion slots. However I have heard that it stops working after a month or something like that. If it does have that flaw can you reccomend another one in the same price range. Z97, plenty of USB 3.0 and expansion slots and preferably black and red.
Thanks.

ASRock Z97 Extreme4 - yes; its OK. See http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-2383187/motherboard-tier-list-z97-chipset.html - tier 2A

Also see Tom's recommendations - http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/best-intel-amd-motherboard,3902.html

No offense, but that tiered list thing is pretty worthless.

Anyways to OP, yes that board is good. There isn't really anything not to like on it; only nitpick really is that it only has 2 front panel USB ports but I mean that is really nitpicky.

Meteors Raining did a good job with the Mobo tier lists.

The mobo is recommended by Tom's as being good value.

Its simply a list of [apparently] randomly selected motherboards ordered by price, with arbitrary cut offs for the "tiers".
You and I both know that despite the claims that board x overclocks better than board y (which seems to be his primary criteria for grouping so it claims) he didn't actually test any of them and simply grouped them by price, so why pretend otherwise?

You need to talk to him.
