New Motherboard - Fool Me Once

[Rogue_Shadow]

Ello

So after basically a month trying to sort out my new build, I'm finally able to return the motherboard !
With only the RAM,CPU & 1 SSD, Windows explorer continued to crash, so with the other components tested independently the motherboard is going back!

The next question is
Do I buy the same, high rated motherboard (Asus Z97-A) ?
Or Do I mix it up and buy a completely new motherboard?

The Asus got my vote initially because of the high reviews, low power consumption and the fan control. Extreme Overlocking wasn't a high priority, but the basic options with the Z97-A would of come in handy latter in life.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Cheers

The Z97 A is one of the best values on the market.
