It's like the one in my budget build except it uses the H chipset which means you can't use it to overclock K-series cpus (or the G3258).
The two Z97 gamer boards that I have has worked great and I just used a third one to refresh my uncles computer. Smooth sailing.

It may be worth it to spend the extra loot.

I really like Asus. My little M3A76-CM (http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/M3A76CM/) I installed many years ago is still chugging along.
I am do for an upgrade though.

I have the z97 in my new build and it is worth every penny I spent on it. The onboard sound sounds great.

Oops, I thought I could use this board with my i5 2500k and I can't. The 2500k is for LGA 1155. This is starting to get into some bucks. 150 for the pro gamer, 120 for memory, and I think 230 for a i5.

We're fortunate to have a z97 gamer mobo+8 gb ram bundle for mere 160 bucks down here.

That's what's holding me back a little, because I know I need to change to ddr3.

This runs the game flawlessly and I have Uncle Sam to thank .. I paid him too much last year so he sent me back 2400 dollars and this was my treat to myself.

I ordered a sound card instead. Hope that helps a little. Though last night the visuals were the smoothest in a long time.

With 99% certainty you won't see any difference. But do report back I'm curious to hear the results.

Just be sure to remove the drivers for the onboard sound device and disable it in the Windows device manager.
I doubt you will see any difference though, in a general sense. It is about increasing the efficiency of the hardware. In just provides more useable bandwidth for the rest of the computer system.
Things like the CPU no longer needing to invalidate its cache (all cores) when the onboard chip accesses memory, or when the video card needed just a fraction more time to load that texture and so on. Those gains are very real, but not something you may be able to tell without being able to switch between the two sound devices, at that very moment.
It is the difference between putting segments of a graph end-to-end versus overlapping them. When you overlap them, the gross length of the graph gets shorter. In other words, more will get done, in a shorter period of time.

I will. I take it Windows will install drivers if the onboard sound isn't disabled?
What about the sound with the graphics card should that be just disabled?

Yes, Windows will re-install it if the device is not disabled, unless you run a driver cleaner to remove all the driver files for the device.
Unless you are expecting to hear sound through the HDMI cable connected to your television, then remove the video card sound drivers as they can cause performance and/or stability issues.
