Hello, I'm about to betray the red-brand after spending all my life with them. I was thinking on grab an i5 4670k, and probably do a mild OC to 4 GHz.
The idea is to retain the rest of my hardware (R9 280X+16GB RAM+Storage, etc).
The mobo that convinced me the most was the MSI Gaming 5, since it is head to head with other expensive Z97 boards:

http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/MSI/Z97_GAMING_5/1.html
But still, I didn't find a complete review of the Sabertooth Z97.
Also, I don't know which fabricant has the better components on its product (I suspect ASUS, though), but I find the UEFI BIOS of the Gaming 5 more "complete" than the more intuitive Sabertooth UEFI.
A mayor point for ASUS is that I have always bought their boards for every PC i've ever had. They never let me down.
In a price point view angle, both boards cost the same in my country... so I hope you can help me on this decision.
Thanks.
EDIT: the system will be mainly used for gaming... I expect to play MKX very often, and, so far, the most demanding game I expect to play is Arkham Knight (Both games run under UE3).
