If you want the ability to SLI in the future, you can go with the Gigabyte GA-Z170XP-SLI.
If not, either is fine.

Personally I feel Asus is a better brand, but I would go for the Gigabyte one, as Z170 is better than H170 (for better SLI support and Overclocking ability in the future). But do go for a K series unlocked Processor (i5-6600K preferably).

ASUS has Q-LED (CPU, DRAM, VGA, Boot Device LED) is one very handy feature, as the respective LED lights up incase of any problem with your System and also has an additional Display Port.

I will get the Z170, if they are in your budget range. Because 1) both are the good brand. 2) Z170 will have more features in case you will use them in the future, like you can use the over 2133mhz speed RAM, sli etc. 3) Also if you don't matter the color schemes.
