Well both are pretty different.

You may as wait till the Z370 come out next month and the new coffeelake cpus as there will be a 6 core variant. If you want further future upgradability I would say go for the X299 as you can install a lower end chip like the i5-7640X or the i7-7740X (With restrictions on memory unfortunately) and then stick a 6-8-10-14-14-18 core cpu in the system at a later date where you will get them for cheaper.

Or you could Ryzen system with 8 Core 16 thread for the same sort of money.

Hope that helps.
