Z97-a vs z97 PRO

[FlaccidSenpai]

Hello all, I am deciding to get an asus z97 board and I have my eyes on the z97-a and the z97 pro. Can you guys tell me which one is better?

Here is my build: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/YmtwK8

Oh and also, will the corsair h100i fit into an nzxt source 530 case?

Asus z97 PRO is better but I would do this :
i7 4790K + CM Hyper 212 EVO + Asus Z97-A

Both mobos are very good, unless the Pro has something you need, can stick w/ the A and will have a little extra $$'s that can go into something else.....
