on the one hand the asus is 500$ more expensive but it is an Asus...and i get x2 RAM ,DDR4 , on the other hand the ABS is much cheaper and i get a gaming keyboard and mouse

what do you guys think?

I'd probably go with the ABS. It's only big down side is that it's CPU is 2 generations old. But CPU's don't tend to age as badly as the GPU. Personally I'm still running a i7 2700k and can't find a good reason to upgrade. The 500 saved could go toward a nice ultrawide monitor.

As for the ASUS, it is worth the extra 500 considering it has all the latest parts. But if that means you can't have a nice monitor, keyboard and mouse then it's not worth it.
