I am working on putting a list of parts together for my first gaming PC, I don't know which motherboard to choose, I am thinking of getting either the ASRock H97 Pro4 or the ASRock H97 Anniversary, here are links to both of them:

I do not plan to overclock any parts and i do not plan to get a second GPU, so I don't really need any special features, but I do plan to upgrade a few parts like the CPU and GPU, right now I am getting an Intel Pentium G3258 and an R7 260x with a set of 2x4gb DDR3-1600 RAM. The Pro4 is about $10 more than the Anniversary, is it worth getting the Pro4 and why? Which one do you guys think I should get if I plan on upgrading the CPU to an i5 or i7 and get a GTX 970 or a different card, but like I said, I am not over clocking the CPU or any other parts and I am only getting one graphics card. Thanks to anyone who is able to help.

thank you both, i will see if i can get that asus board, but i am kind of on a budget, do you think it would be fine if i went with the pro4 for now, or just stick with it? maybe i will get enough money for the asus board later on :D
