Question which is the better motherboard?

[Almusawi11]

Hey everyone. Deciding between two MBs. Currently New Egg has some sales and came across two I thought looked pretty good. First https://www.newegg.com/asus-rog-strix-z590-a-gaming-wifi/p/N82E16813119371?Item=N82E16813119371 Second https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16813157981?Item=N82E16813157981 . Asus price $100 (w/ promo and rebate). ASRock price $125. I'm looking to pair with a i5-11600k. What would be your preference? Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

"Better"?

You might mean more reliable.

Or you might mean "has the features I need".

Do you have overclocking intentions?

I'd start by going to Asus web site and doing a comparison of all named features....type and number of drive ports; type and number of USB ports; type and number of monitor connections; number of case fan headers; audio capabilities; VRM design; etc.

Emphasize whatever features are important to YOU....that you specifically require.

Reliability is difficult to assess. Try to keep your expectations low.
