I'm looking to upgrade from AMD over to intel. I'm going to pick up the 4790k processor and want to know what you all think would be a better mobo for me? I like ASUS a lot and would like to stick with them if possible.

Which of these motherboards would be better straight out of the box? And I will be using it for gaming mostly. Thanks!

Both are good mobos, have built a few of each, I choose the Hero for my own build, OCs better, better sound, BIOS, DRAM handling, runs cooler. Sig is out of date, but on my Z97, have the 4770K at 4.8, 32GB of GSkill 2800 DRAM, and the Asus 980 Strix
