and what about this one? http://pcpartpicker.com/part/gigabyte-motherboard-gaz170xpsli
any major diference between these two?
 
The Gaming 7 I linked has these advantages:

- Higher supported RAM frequencies: 3866(O.C)/3733(O.C)/3666(O.C) /3600(O.C.)
- 1 Display port
- Better integrated sound quailty
- 1 more M.2 socket for next gen SSD hard drives like the Samsung 950 Pro
- 2 more SATA internal connectors

It is overall a stronger overclocking board with more connections/ support for next gen hardware. Also has better audio.
