Both are good boards. The asus one has slightly better sound card , hence better sound reproduction . NO differences in overclocking potential on paper. But Asus has a better rep amongst over clockers. And maybe the board has a little higher quality , but there is no proof .
Asus one is usually costlier. There is also another higher end one by gigabyte:http://www.msy.com.au/viconline/motherboard/13658-gigabyte-z97mx-gaming-5-intel-z97-4xddr3-3xpci-ex16-hdmi-dvi-d-sub-killere2201-microatx-motherboard.html
which is more bang for buck for the quality it provides.
