ASUS Z97-A LGA OR Gigabyte GA-Z97X?

I myself would get the Asus if I did not need anything only Gigabyte had, like some kind of connection.

Asus is considered to be the best MoBo manufacturer by many, and is seriously reliable on my eye. :)
 

Yeah i think ill go with asus, it's slightly cheaper and comes with this technology on the board that automaticaly changes individual fans to how hot that area is. :)
