Which 1 is better for 4k gaming or can you give me a good 4k gaming motherbaord

Motherboard will have no impact on performance at a given resolution (or performance at all).  Performance at one resolution vs another depends entirely on the graphics card(s).

The motherboard will not affect the performance of your computer, just get one that looks nice, has all the features you want and fits your budget

 

PS: Either of those would be good choices.

Your second link is broken.

The motherboard won't play a factor in 4k resolutions, it really depends on your GPU + CPU combo since that's doing all the driving, the board is merely hosting it. Any decent Asus board is fine.

With the ASUS OC socket the highest possible overclock for your CPU will theoretically be higher than all the other brands so it kinda makes a performance difference there if you are going to be overclocking on phase change or LN2

The idea's that some people have about hardware are amazing.

Motherboards make a difference in overclocking, sure.  But the board itself doesn't change performance just by being X motherboard.  In any case, resolution has no impact on CPU load, so no matter what motherboard and no matter how high the overclock compared to a different board, the amount to which the rig is "4K ready" will depend on the graphics cards and nothing else.

The Maximus VII has dual 16x slots so definitely go for that.

PCI Express bandwidth really doesn't affect gaming.

The Maximus VII is $10 cheaper than the other one anyway so I'd say it's well worth the extra little boost in FPS and it also looks nicer IMO

Worry less about your motherboard and more about the absolutely expensive and kick arse graphics cards you will need to complete the task...

I was planning to get 970 sli but i am gonna wait until next year for better graphic cards for 4k and for free sync monitors and use a amd graphic card or wait for  g sync
