I've been looking at these two mid-tier motherboards for a bit and I'm having a bit of trouble deciding on which one to purchase. It seems that most of the Asus line of motherboards are experiencing BIOS problems. I don't know much about the Gigabyte Gaming 5 other than it doesn't have a "user-friendly" UEFI. XMP is important as I plan on buying DDR4-3000 memory as well. Does anyone have any experience with either of these motherboards?

Of the two I'd go with the Gigabyte Z170x Gaming 5, BECAUSE. It sounds like ASUS Z170s are having some problems. Gigabyte has no DVI if you use that.
