I went with the Gaming 5, does everything I need it to do, and then some.
ASUS Prime is another decent board to look at with similar features.
Strix E has WiFi, they have a few other models that don't. It'll take me a while to memorize all the letters and how they differ. I think ASUS went a little overboard on the number of Strix models.

I've had both brands of motherboards and ASUS is the biggest pain is the ass to RMA, GIGABYTE is much easier.
That being said ASUS has a cool feature called Aura lighting control. If your GPU, keyboard and mouse also are from ASUS and have the same feature you can sink all the led color lighting effects so they all work together it looks cool. ASUS also has re-enforced PCI-E slots to help keep the MB straight when using heavy GPUs.
Gigabyte has its own RGB LED lighting for their motherboard RGB FUSION. It has a header for light strips to help control them. THis model also has more LEDs on the motherboard.

I saw the prime model which looked great as well. The build on wifi was clutch for me because as most of my desktops were I build wifi on to them.
Currently this is what I'm building http://pcpartpicker.com/user/museprime/saved/8kD7P6
So the Mobo is always the most back and forth I go when doing a new build. I've always liked gigabyte Mobo. And was partly sad to send back my Z170 gaming 7. I've never had a gaming ASUS mobo before. Quite frankly I didn't see myself spending $299 or more on one.
