they're both nice. i would consider what it is you like or need to have in a MB and do a cross-comparison, both of them are very well equipped and will perform as they should if it is purely for gaming. I have had boards from both companies and have nothing bad to say about either. although for motherboards i prefer the ASUS and i am currently running a strix gaming f z490 and really like it. in all reality, it's like every other motherboard i have ever had it just looks good, and we all know that looks alone give you a few extra FPS
