Building a new rig around a 4770k and having trouble picking a board. I know the older Hero VI was regarded highly, but read mixed reviews for the new version.
 
I have them both sitting here and I like the Hero VII better. Everything about it is better (if it isn't exactly the same) except for 1 thing:
2 fewer USB 3.0 ports. Which is kind of a big deal, but not the end of the world.
 
It doesn't have Displayport output for the built in Intel GPU. Not a huge deal to most folks but I find it a silly oversight that caused me to go elsewhere than this board.
Rest of the system is pretty tight, sort of small improvements everywhere you look.
