I have a old Haswell processor lying around and I'm looking to build a PC with that processor. It's a Core i5 processor, but it can't be overclocked so I don't see a need to spend the money and get a Z97 base motherboard. Other than overclocking, what are the advantages of Z97 over the B85?
I have these two motherboards in mind at the moment:
