Which motherboard would you choose and why?

[eddieb101]

Asus Z170I PRO GAMING mITX or the GIGABYTE GA-Z170N GAMING 5 mITX. Will be going into the new NZXT Manta case. Will be used for gaming, web browsing and general day to day things. Kraken x61 watercooler, EVGA 650 PSU, GTX970 already purchased along with the 6600K processor.

If not those two motherboards then please suggest a better one. Thanks!

Do you have links to each board that you're considering?

Both are great boards and ASUS and Gigabyte are the best 2 manufactures in my opinion , ASUS has great QC.

I know the specs....i guess i'm asking which manufacturer you'd go with but also if anyone has experience of these boards
