Both motherboards are identical you will not go wrong if you buy any of these but Gigabyte looks slightly looks better to me.

If you'll at the image of both motherboards you'll find that gigabyte is using all polymer caps where asus is using polymer caps where they need the most like vrm and gigabyte board has 2 pcie slots.

Both have very basic 2+1 vrm to feed power to processor but gigabyte is using 3 fets in single phase so gigabyte board's vrm looks a bit durable to my eyes.

Both have 2 USB 2.0 and 2 USB 3.0.
