I am about to make a new build but I am kind of stuck as to which mobo to get. The real difference that I see is that the MSI has the integrated wifi (AC nonetheless). I have heard good things about both board's audio but that would be the real difference for me because I can get a wifi adapter for the difference in price between the two boards. Thoughts?

here is the build

the two boards I'm looking at are:

MSI MPower Max AC - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130751

ASUS Maximus VI Hero - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131989&clickid=3Zixos0xj2bmSVo3F7yhzVtrUkTUN00ZI1AB200&iradid=97618&ircid=2106&irpid=79301&nm_mc=AFC-IR&cm_mmc=AFC-IR-_-na-_-na-_-na
 
I would recommend the ASUS board for regular gaming and reliability, and it costs less. If you want upgrade capabilities, get the MSI. You can do 3-way SLI or CrossfireX. Note: DON'T USE THE FREE MEMORY THAT COMES WITH THE BOARDS!! IT SUCKS!!
