Is this a good bundle?

Gigabyte GA-Z97X-Gaming 7 + i5 4690k for $300 at MicroCenter?

or should I get the Asus z97-a ($40 more) from Newegg and the Processor from Microcenter?

I want to overclock 10%.

The first one seems like a nice deal. Especially because its the Gaming 7 which is on the higher side of features and costs like 140+$ alone.

I'd get the microcenter bundle.

Gigabyte GA-Z97X-Gaming 7 >> Asus z97-a (overclock-wise).

So, the Gaming 7 is better for overclocking?

Absolutely.
