Hello everyone!

I was browsing Newegg for a motherboard for an Intel i7-4790K and came across one that seemed pretty good. The motherboard is a GIGABYTE GA-Z97X-SOC LGA 1150 and the only reason why I ask is because I have never had experience with Gigabyte. The motherboard I was checking out previously was an ASUS Z97-A and I was wondering if I should choose the Gigabyte over the Asus. Also, if it changes the response at all, this will be entirely for gaming.

Thanks guys!

I'd go the Asus, the Z97-A is a great mobo - have done 8 client builds with it and all are thrilled with, both for gaming and serious heavy use ;)
