Can't decide on a motherboard

Whombus

I can't choose between the Gigabyte x99M-Gaming 5 and the Fatal1ty X99M killer

 

Here are the links to both of them

They are both great motherboards, but there pros equal them out on how great they are and I need your guys opinions on which one to get.

 

Side Notes:

I have 1 graphics card

Planning to over clock cpu

I have 4 rams sticks

1 ssd and 1 hdd

I would personally go with Gigabyte. They have a slightly better reputation than Asrock, plus the gaming 5 looks better IMO.

I've built 3 PC's, but none for myself... In fact, I'm using an iMac that my dad bought for me as my desktop. Awkward...

Please don't say "SSD drive." By doing so, you are literally saying "Solid State Drive Drive" and causing my brain cells to commit suicide. The same applies to HDD (Hard Disk Drive) and PCIe (Peripheral Component Interconnect Express).

From a purely aesthetic standpoint, I like the Gigabyte board a lot better. The ASRock board's heatsinks are just far too red in my opinion. The understated black and red on the Gigabyte board is just far more appealing.
