Hi . I wanna buy new pc. But i have got the problem. I dont know if i will pay 300 dollars for asus maximus formula vi. With wifi and sli and a lot of features or pay 150 dollars for msi motherboard. (Msi Z87I gaming AC ) for wifi but there isnt a sli and features but also with Dvi and Vga. Must i pay for wifi motherboard. Or just buy normal motherboard and buy new wifi card .
Have u got experiences with these ? With asus features or sli or asus maximus vi formula or msi z87I Ac or with wifi card ? Please Reply !!
Thanks , thanks a lot.

Won't go wifi motherboard.I would go Msi z97 gaming 5 with Edimax EW-7612 Pin V-2.I have a similar Wireless Adapters,fast wifi speed you should go.
Maximus line is a fine high quality motherboard.

Unless you will be running a 4k monitor or are planning on triple monitor gaming, it is not usefult to pay more for a sli capable motherboard.

A wifi card is inexpensive and is often stronger than integrated wifi. It will occupy one of your expansion slots.

The onboard monitor outputs are mostly of interest if you are not gaming and will not be using a discrete graphics card.

If you have an overclockable cpu then you will want a Z87 or z97 based motherboard.
I suspect an inexpensive board will do you fine.
 
So what about : Msi z97 gaming 5.
And wifi - Edimax EW-7612 Pln V-2

But asus maximus vi formula have got special feature that its really good for gaming cause you have got small ping and i need also small ping 🙁
I dont know but actually my pc will be next to the wifi . Maybe 10 centimeters so ...

The big reason for the higher price on the Formula is the water block, for lower cost look at the Asus Z97-A, Pro or Hero - I went w/ the Hero - great mobo much improved over their Z87 (have that too (both in sig))....All three are good choices 😉
