Having trouble deciding between these two boards. The price between does not concern Me but I don't understand all the technical specs thoroughly yet. Hoping someone can shed some light on my dilemma here of which 1 in their opinion would be better for strictly gaming. Aesthetics do matter a bit as I'm trying to keep a black + red build. Appreciate the help!!
I plan to pair the mobo with:

GPU: MSI GTX 970
RAM: Trident X series 16GB 2133 cal 9

If those are you two choices it has to be the Asus without going into the deep technical details.

The MSI has terrible QC so it is best to avoid their motherboards. And the Asus Maximus VII Hero is one of the best motherboards out there IMO, but it does come at a price. The integrated sound is great too.

Asus, better for overclocking and better quality over all

Interesting, so the whole military grade and torture testing doesn't truly hold merit as MSI claims?

asus has better VRMs for the most part, i also have had a better experience using asus boards than msi boards. military grade means nothing in my opinion its just a fancy term.

Gotcha, the asus was my first choice but I heard a few people just calling out ROG as just being overpriced for what it actually provided. I appreciate and thank you for your insight and help!
