ASUS H87M-E or Gigabyte GA-H87-HD3

[Spoonher]

Help!

I want to go for a good non-overclocking motherboard. These are the two i can't select from.

ASUS H87M-E
Gigabyte GA-H87-HD3

This is in combination with the i7 4770 (not the K version) and 1600Mhz Corsair Vengeance.

The main difference is that the asus one is uATX form factor (of which I've never heard) and the gigabyte one is standard ATX.
Here's something about uATX MBOs:

Personally I would go with the gigabyte one because it has more expansion slots and all that. Plus the color scheme is better.

The main difference between these are form-factor and power connectors.
The uATX form factor, also know as Micro-ATX, is useful if you are looking to build a smaller cased system.
Currently, there are 3 form factors that are common. Here's the breakdown with all sizes in inches.
Standard ATX = 12 x 9.6
uATX/Micro-ATX = 9.6 x 9.6
Mini-ITX = 6.7 x 6.7
With a few exceptions, motherboards and cases are compatible if it fits, so a full size case can usually handle all three sizes of mobo.
So the ASUS H87M-E will fit in more cases while the Gigabyte GA-H87-HD3 fits in fewer cases, but has more expansion slots.
Aside from that, the two are very comperable
