Z97 is for overclocking.

H97 can't be overclocked on.

So you want the Fatal1ty Z97 Killer.

The biggest difference is that the H97 doesn't support overclocking. For everything else, the Asus H97 pro gamer is better: build quality, features, Intel network card vs the crappy Killer on the Asrock. My motherboard (gigabyte z97x gaming 3) has the killer network card and it works, but can be a real pain if you run linux or other operating systems.

ASUS z97 pro gamer (it's same as the H97, but supports overclocking):

TL,DR: The Asus H97 is better i every single way but you should buy the Z97 based motherboard for overclocking.

The Killer no question for the 4690K. The Gigabyte Z97 Gaming 5 or even better the Gigabyte Z97 Sniper are great choices for your CPU. Excellent build quality and they both have Dual BIOS and both are cheaper than their MSI/Asus counterparts.
