I needed some info on which Motherboard is better

MSI Gaming Z97 GAMING 5 LGA 1150 Intel Z97 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard

or

ASUS Z97-PRO GAMER LGA 1150 Intel Z97 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard



my current mobo is not able to do multitask and frequently play PC games (Battlefield and DOOM) and also is not able to update the BIOS (For whatever reason) and i've been wanting to upgrade anyways. I just need to know which one will be the best one or one that's better than these two i'm currently looking at.

Also prefer Asus if choosing from those two.
You should look at this, ASRock is what I call "budget-beast". It is better than the ASUS, in my opinion. More phases and more feaures overall. It's also bought 4 times as much.
