One thing users will want to be wary of, when first starting up my Logitech wireless mouse and keyboard would not work in the USB 3.0 ports, they had to use the 2.0 ports (I plugged them into the front of the case). After downloading the latest drivers from Logitech these now work in the 3.0 ports on the back.
I built a new computer and used this board for using with Lightroom and 3rd party software. That is the reason for the large hard drives and i7 cpu. The larger hard drive is to give me greater longevity, at least as my understanding regarding the degradation of PSU's over time. The old computer was locking up with even small photos a few MB's in size. Transfering and working with photos is now much faster.

Pros:
+ No crashes.
+ Quality construction (as mentioned above)
+ No problems recognizing memory, hard drive, or CD ROM.
+ Looks great in windowed case!
Cons:
- Windows 7 install issue -WARNING- The Windows 7 initial install screen (select language/country) freezes with the keyboard and mouse plugged into the rear USB 3 ports. I was really getting upset with this until I read a review on another site that said that plugging them into a USB 2 plug would work. Luckily after Windows gets installed and the proper drivers are installed you CAN put the mouse/KB back onto the USB 3 (whew!).
- Difficult to get the ports into the I/O plate (the are still a tiny bit off on the outside too but not sure if it's the case manufacturer or Asus fault)
- (Update 6/22/13) Installed software AISuite installs some unwanted utilities such as Network iControl(slows Internet). Also, these do not run all as services so if somone logs into the computer and they are not Admin, they get a bunch of security errors. I had to fix and/or remove these by editing the Windows Task Scheduler.
Tested With:
Fractal Design Dimension R4 case, EVGA NEX560G Supernova power supply, Intel i7-4770, Intel stock cooler, Kingston ValueRam 2x8, on-board graphics (for now).

* The built-in wifi and bluetooth is nice. Even better is that the asus wifi software allows you to use the wifi in AP mode. Why is this good? Well, I share an internet connection with my landlord. I pay half the bill, but their house is a hundred feet away. My computer can pick up the signal just fine, but my various small devices cut in and out, especially my iPhone. I thought about buying an expensive wifi extender, but then I (totally by accident) discovered AP mode on this mobo. Turn it on, set it up with a name and password and BAM I can connect my iphone and other devices to my computer's wifi with maximum signal strength. Wifi to my home's devices are much faster and more reliable now. Useful also if you have multiple floors, a large house or need to extend your wifi to reach the back yard.
* The various buttons on the motherboard are exceptionally useful for troubleshooting. I won't buy a mobo without them.
* A minor thing, but this mobo comes with one of the higher end Realtek chips, compared to other motherboards in the 100-200 price range. My old sound blaster xtreme music card started causing major instability while watching any time of video, and I've since chucked it out and decided to never bother with add-in audio again. They've always been a pain in the ass anyway, with minimal benefit that I bet I never even noticed, and I have cpu cycles to spare with a 4770K.
* The windows software for managing the mobo is pretty nuts. The UEFI problems I'm having (see below) are less of an issue when I can manage so much directly from windows.
NOT SO MUCH
* For some reason, the access point created by the motherboard becomes inaccessible every once in a while. I end up having to turn AP mode off and on again and reset the connection on my iPhone. This is irritating, but not irritating enough for me to go out and buy a separate extender.
* When using my Radeon 7770, the BIOS (really the UEFI) is an all black screen except a cursor. As I move the cursor, some of the black disappears (kinda like unscratching a lottery ticket). Underneath is ... about 3/4 of the full screen. The right and bottom are cut off. Unfortunately, most of the important stuff is cut off, like the disk boot order. This isn't a problem if I use the graphics built into the processor. However, I can't use the built-in graphics unless I unplug the AMD card. If I try to plug the monitor cable into the integrated graphics without removing the other graphics card, the system refuses to boot. Thus, if I want to make any changes in the bios, I have to either remove the graphics card or just try to guess where everything is and use hotkeys/keyboard to navigate. Thus, I haven't tried any of the advanced features like overclocking.
* Almost every time I restart my pc it tries to boot from a drive that is NOT my boot drive. I have to enter the BIOS, hit F8, select my actual boot drive and hit enter. I've tried changing the boot priority and it never sticks. My boot drive is a samsung 840 pro solid state drive.
I'm taking off one star for these obnoxious problems, but they don't interfere with the real functioning of my pc on a regular basis. I love the ease of setup and all the features. I don't love the terrible, disorganized documentation. Obviously I can't say anything about long-term reliability since it has only been available for a few months.
PS: The first of these I bought was DOA. I purchased it from a third-party seller, I think it was thegeeks or something. My second worked perfectly and I had all components installed and booting in less than 10 minutes. The DOA didn't affect my total score.
EDIT: After upgrading to a GTX 760, the UEFI problems went away. I was then able to find the really well hidden option to enable and disable disks for booting, which was in a different menu from the boot priority. After enabling only my boot drive, then ensuring my boot drive was at the top of the boot priority, I also no longer have boot problems. I'm leaving the review at 4 stars for not working with my ATI card and for making booting windows such a hassle, but I really think this is more of a 4.5 star product.

The new motherboard is actually running correctly in normal mode only. ...
I tried to run it in OC mode, but the motherboard immediatly shutdown, because of CPU overheating error ...
I admit that changing the 4770K CPU from Z87-A mobo to this new Z87-PRO mobo have ended with less/dry glue between cooler and the CPU ...
But Googling on the CPU temperature error show me that other ASUS users are having the same issue (maybe board sensor to be tweaked in the bios)
Maybe buy another new more performing CPU cooler in replacement.
I have all that to do, but I am waiting my GPU sent back for reparation (Asus 760 II OC) to be tested in first place.
So my current note is 4/5 instead of 5/5.
