$350 is a pretty insane amount of money for a motherboard. 

What are you using the computer for? 

Have you bought the 7700 and the 3080 already?

What headers do you need? 

What else are you hooking up to the board?

If the asus has everything you need go with that because of the wifi on it.

Both of those boards are overkill for a 7700x..  If you are a gamer you only need a B650.  I am guessing you ain't doing insane overclocking and LN2 records.    I got a B650 for my 7700x - DDR5 - RTX 4080, no problemo. max performance all the time.   I use a Asus TUF B650 plus WIFI,  still an expensive B650 board but I got it at a 34% sale.

Some people use PCIe WLAN cards. Still others don't even use Wi-Fi and just run Ethernet to everything. Onboard WLAN is not the only selling point to a motherboard.

Better for what? What are you using this PC for? What features do you need in a motherboard?

 

Both motherboards are pretty equal, all things considered, one will only be "better" depending on you and your use case.
