Hello everyone,
My current Asus H87ME seems to have become faulty and restart on its own randomly.
This happened after I updated the BIOS which was needed for my new 4790K.
To cut a long story short, I decided to purchase a new motherboard for two reasons :
1. This one is getting old (I bought it in 2012/2013 I guess and with the upgrade I did If it fails in the next one or two years, I won't be finding a decent motherboard then)
2. The newer motherboard would support my CPU out of the box without bios updates and the stuff like that and hopefully will be more performant and reliable for the years to come.
However, looking at the reviews on newegg, it really made me hesitant of buying one without further consultation.

For Z97 A, 32% were extremely disappointed with the quality of the board whereas 61% liked it (7% where in between)
and for Pro-Gamer, 22% disliked the board while 72% liked it .
and it seems Z97 A has more features compared to the higher prices Pro-Gamer : Link
So all in all, which one do you suggest/recommend?
