The Z97 is obviously better. You can overclock with the Z97 but only if your CPU is unlocked
I was planning to couple it with Pentium G3258 but recently I had came to know that this CPU is not Good in multitasking.
Overclocking Feature - both
ELNA Audio - ASROCK only but only 3 basic audio ports whereas MSI have total 6 audio ports (I want to plop 5.1 audio system)
Front USB Charging- MSI only
More Frequencies of RAM Supported - ASROCK (Does this thing make any difference?)
I am surprised the B85 is listed as OCing. Maybe non-Z overclock? I didn't know that still worked after Intel updated their microcode
You could always buy a sound card if you need more outputs.

Z97 is clearly better for overclocking
Ok.
I m talking about ASROCK Z97M, I had came to know that both MSi and Asus also have Mobos named as Z97,those are really costly for me.Are you sure you are talking about ASROCK?
