Personally i would go ASUS, because DAT armor!

But i would say get the MSI, because of the killer E2200 networking.

Simply put, the MSI has features, the ASUS has looks and durability.

 

Also if you plan on an OC, i would say ASUS here as well, i don't have time to dig around, this is just what i think.

Case Bitfenix Ghost, Mobo Asus Maximus VIII Ranger, CPU i7 6700K @4.2 Ghz cooled by Arctic cooling Freezer i30, (barely). GPU Nvidia GTX 970 Gigabyte G1 @1519Mhz core, RAM 16Gb Crucial Ballistix CL16 @2400Mhz. SSD 128GB Sandisk Ultra Plus as my OS drive. HDD's  1TB  Seagate ST31000524AS its OEM, 3TB Seagate Barracuda, 2x 500GB WDC Blue (RAID 0)

If it isn't working absolutely perfectly, according to all your assumptions, it is broken.

what is the e2200 networking?

A better networking car*chip* that prioritizes gaming, it does this by limiting other connections.

one last thing, does msi motherboard support corsair vengeance pro memory 2133Mhz???

i would go for asus z87 sabretooth with the thermal armor, because it has awesome audio, really nice VRM's so stable overclocking and intel gigabit ethernet, which is all you need really

 

any modern motherboard supports that
