Asus Sabertooth P67 or P8P67 Pro?

[Sam25]

Hello!

I'm planning to change my setup and I want some advice on choosing the motherboard for the new system. My processor will be an i5 2500k and I want to know which among these 2 motherboards should I buy:

Asus Sabertooth P67 or the Asus P8P67 Pro

My primary usage for the rig will be gaming and the other uses are movies, music and the likes.

Please advice.
TIA

Get the pro then. You can save some money.
IMO , the color scheme of sabertooth is not my liking.
Maybe you will like it , but it is up to you.

I shall advise and you shall receive advice.

English lesson aside, one motherboard is not better than another for any of the tasks you list. It is like asking which wood you should use for your kitchen cabinets for tasks such as cooking, keeping food refrigerated, washing dishes.

The Sabertooth has supposedly better components, the shield over the motherboard and a 5 year warranty (versus 3?).

The Pro is cheaper, plus has a third PCIe x16 slot (running at x4).

Decide which is more important to you, and base your purchase on that.
