Should I buy this or the Gigabyte GA-Z97N-WIFI?

The z97i-plus is a good mb to start from, quick and easy to set up, no hassles from my setup.

depends on what features you are looking for , but generally speaking i am biased to asus product (i recommend them). i bought this specifically because it has the new m.2 ssd slot (plugs directly into the bottom of the MOBO...very cool and fast with no extra cables)

The wifi with this board is a removable PCIe wifi adapter. You can see it in the photos of this motherboard if you follow the cables back from the antennas.

For Intel® Socket 1150 for the 5th/New 4th/4th Generation, ASUS ITX MB, try, "MAXIMUS VII IMPACT (didn't come with wifi)" or "Z97I-PLUS (choose the model with WiFi ac model)". Or, for 4th gen, try similar ASUS ITX MB "Z87I-DELUXE". But, since I didn't build with it, I can't say any about its quality. Let us know how it works for you.

Depends on a few things: number of slots you have for either PCI or PCI express, your personal appeal for the look of your internals, if you are going to need another slot for some other upgrade, and speed. My motherboard only had the PCI Express slot available, so that was my choice. The express generally grants you the higher speeds, but no guarantee if you have an older/slower router.

From what I remember, the Maximus had a better audio chipset, and I think it supports 32GB RAM. Here's a comparison - http://www.asus.com/us/site/motherboards/Z97/comparison/. Maximus didn't offer anything I really cared about over Z97I-plus, and from what it sounds like, it should be fine for you as well.

You need to buy a wireless adapter. This is what I used. Gigabyte GC-WB300D 1Mbps/2Mbps/3Mbps Data Rate Exclusive Bluetooth 4.0/Wi-Fi Expansion Card Motherboard.Gigabyte GC-WB300D 1Mbps/2Mbps/3Mbps Data Rate Exclusive Bluetooth 4.0/Wi-Fi Expansion Card Motherboard

The Bios would need an update, I suggest going for a Z97 board, which you should easily be able to find for a similar price.

I would go to the Gigabyte site with this question. I am just a user like you.

I bought it for my Y2P. It worked much better than the original card but I would still lose connection from time to time. Not sure about updated Bios but I had upgraded about a month ago before selling the PC.

This all depends on motherboard manufacturers. PCI is definitely on its way out, so if you are worried, I would get the STX version.

Ther is lots of room in this case I have an asus Z97 Pro with onboard wifi 10.7 x2.7 x 12.9 and there is plenty of room I would email thermaltake

This is not accurate. I purchased this motherboard new from Newegg for around $220 late last year. Listing that price is definitely a mistake. I believe on other sites too the board is discontinued. It would be best to look into upgrading to the Z87 chipset and CPU than to consider spending on this board.

1.) Motherboard2.) Guide books3.) Nvidia SLI Thing4.) A couple SATA cablesThats it. It didnt come with a wifi card, i had to buy one, (Gigabyte makes one) but other than that it is a great motherboard!

The Gigabyte GA-H87N-WIFI has one PCI-e v3.0 card slot. I had a graphics card in there which worked OK, but it was slower than the HD4600 on-chip Intel Graphics, so i removed it. Not familiar with the PCI card you referenced.

The z87-g43 is just a newer motherboard H87-g43.. not much of a performance difference.. both boards are really good for all around use including gaming..

I would try http://www.gigabyte.com/. they have support and specs and different downloads. Depending on what information you are looking for as to what you will find. I still have mine somewhere ans as I remember there is not much to it.
