Okay I need a second opinion on this. Which of these motherboards is a better choice? they are both the same price and have similar if not identical, or it seems to me, features. I'll be running an i5 4690k on it of which I will be overclocking.

Solution
Get the Asus. I don't mind the higher end msi boards but suggest avoiding thier lower end boards. I usually stick with Asus and Gigabyte for motherboards.
