MSI Z97s SLI Krait Edition w/ i7 4790K OCed ??

[jcsn]

Hey guys,

I am wondering if there are any better reliability/stability in performance or more feature(s) motherboard on the market right now than the MSI Z97s Krait.

I am looking for something similarly priced (+/- $50-$60 at most) but performs better or is more reliable in the long run.

Just for some perspective and to make suggestions easier for you guys, I am going to be getting i7 4790K CPU and overclocking it to around 4.6GHz, along with overclocking Galax GTX 970 HOF 4GB GPU (I will be getting another GTX 970 in the near future and possibly overclocking that one too, but make suggestions based on the single card for now).

So is this board reliable for my plans now and possibly in the near future with 2 video cards in SLI? I am just worried because its a budget board but if its more than enough to hold my overclocked CPU and GPU(s) together for 5+ years then I'm fine with that. Features like the I/O aren't the biggest priority here, just the stability of the MOBO, given the CPU and GPU here (both overclocked).

Thanks !
