I have a i7-10700k and trying to pick between these two boards. I only had a ROG code board before now and I really like that board so wasn't sure how good gigabyte boards are especially their bios.

They are around the same 300$ mark so it just comes down to which one is better for the i7 and I'll be doing some overclocking. Also are gigabyte bios easy to use and understand?

The Gigabyte one looks to be better all around for me.
Seems to have a bit better VRM's while having PCIe 4.0 for your m.2
If they are both around $300, i'd get the Z590 for sure.

Gigabyte boards, generally, have better VRMs than their Asus counterparts.
Both, Intel and AMD, have strong partnerships with Gigabyte.

Asus’ strength lies in the BIOS menu; It’s more “user friendly”.
