Look into the ASUS Z97-A

Its a quality motherboard, at a reasonable price. Its not the best of the best, but its hard to beat for its price and quality.

yeah but i didnt want to get that one if the asus z970-a / z970-pro is better... you get me?

I build with ASUS and Gigabyte now , so i'm a little biased.

For my new build I ordered 1 of each.

I must admit though the Rock is a nice looking board.
