Of the two, I'd go the GB, MSI's QC sucks....before final decision though would look at the Asus mobos...well with those prices, maybe not 😉 , might look at the Rocks Z97 Pro4

i heard that asrock dont make good motherboards

 

[Neonz99]

if so what motherboard would you find best for $180

 

[Tradesman1]

At $184 the Rock's Fatal1ty Killer - very good mobo

so hands down you say this one is the best buy i can get

That's the one I'd go with, it's a great mobo, as I mentioned I normally go Asus first with Z97, the Rock is my second choice and the GB (those are the only three brands I'll build on)

Neonz99 is in Australia, prices are very high there on about all components (which I always found odd as most come from around the corner in China) 😉
