I would go with the Asus as it has amazing overclocking features and a premium design. The special Armor that they put on the mobo is designed to shield the parts from dust so it is virtually dust-proof. It also, has great software and BIOS UI so it will be very easy to setup.

I agree with the recommendation, but I don't agree with the reason. Personally, I wouldn't use the armor that comes with the Mark 1, the Mark 2 does NOT come with armor, because it tends to retain heat in the area of some components and blocks case airflow from direct contact with components unless specifically setup to be channeled in those areas using a downdraft style cooler. If you have a tower cooler, ditch the armor when using a Mark 1.

The Sabertooth Mark 2 does come with 8 phase digi + power though and the Gigabyte has only one x16 slot while the Sabertooth has 2 although with dual cards it will only run at x8 on both cards. The gigabyte does have a second x8 slot though but overall the Sabertooth is a better board for overclocking or gaming as it tends to stay cooler.
