Need help Hero vs Formula vs Mpower z87

[sauron18]

Hi, i want to build a new rig. I have been using Mac for a long time now but i need my PC and build something!

I'm between the Maximus VI Hero, VI Formula love the board but for $300 i don't know besides it has the chipset watercooling, the double cover and wifi/bluetooth... But is almost $100 of difference. And the last board is the MSI Mpower without the Max.

So which one?

It really depends upon what you are looking to do with the board and what your needs are.

Are you going to overclock?
Are you going to do a custom water cooling build?
Do you need integrated wireless and integrated Bluetooth?
What is your overall budget for the build?
Where are you looking to purchase? Both your country and vendors?

Without knowing things like that then I'm just taking a shot in the dark recommending you a motherboard. Those three are all good boards, but knowing more info on what you are looking to do helps narrow it down. If you are looking to configure a build then I would suggest taking your questions to General Hardware as that is where build advice and recommendations are mostly made.

Also, Mfenn has a great $1000 budget build that he updates weekly in General Hardware.

I have the MPOWER and I can certainly say that it is one great board. It is by far the best price to performance board for this spectrum of boards. It would be helpful for more info indeed but of those its MPOWER hands down
