Which Motherboard is better ASUS M5A97 or Gigabyte GA-970A-DS3

[Pokefinch27]

So I'm building a computer (http://pcpartpicker.com/p/1fk6I), and I have found two motherboards that I'm considering. I don't know a lot about motherboards but I know the basics. I was wondering if there was any differences between the two and which one to go with.
Thanks

Both are good mobos and you should be happy with either, would suggest a single package of 2x4GB DRAM, even with the same exact model, might get sticks that don't want to play with each other, happens all the time, then you are sitting for a week or more to return and have a replacement sent

I would do that, but I'm poor 😛 Anyways, I was wondering for those parts which is better considering the BIOS etc.

Both should have a stable BIOS, been there awhile

If you had to choose one which would you go with (not including price) which one would it be

Here I think I'd go w/ the Asus, (just me, but think they put a little more into the AMD mobos as far as time, and slightly better support than GB)
