I have the gigabyte and couldn't be happier with it. It overclocks well and is very stable and reliable.

I think it's better than that asus. It's got sata 6gb/s and usb 3.0, and the on board realtek audio is probably better than the asus's via if you're not going to be using a sound card.

I don't think you can go wrong with either. Personaly I have just gone with GB

I'd go with the Gigabyte. Better equipped...

For a higher end P55 board I'd choose Gigabyte as well. Asus have the entry models well and truly nailed though.
