Well,

that's a hard choice there really :) . All boards are really good and you won't be wrong to buy either of those. But personally I like Asus boards better than any other brand, because I use them already for many years and had never a sinlge issue with one of them.

But I guess the MSI are very as well and they are usually a bit cheaper...

 

For OCing I would always recommend the RoG board before any other board.

 

Intel i7 7820X (delidded) @ 4.9GHz - MSI X299 M7 ACK + EKWB Fullcover Block - G.Skill Trident Z 32GB @ 3466MHz - nVidia Titan Xp + EKWB Fullcover Block @ 2.1GHz - Samsung 960Pro 2x - WDD Blue 2TB - Seasonic 750W Platinum - modded Corsair 600C - Hardtubed Custom Watercooling
