thanks for the help and I will add in some of the specs of my build:

 

intel i7 4790k

corsair dominator platinum 2133mhz 16gb

intel 730 ssd

wd black 1tb 

asus strix gtx 970.

 

Thank you!

Any z97 board would be equally good. Just go with whatever's cheaper/looks better to you. (The only important thing to consider is SLI support, and if you care about it). 

 

Also, dominators are overpriced to hell -- so only get it if you're doing it for looks (performance-wise it's no different from any other ram).

the 2nd one

Well do you need built in Wi-Fi ? If you don't, just take the one that looks better with your rig. 

 

All ASUS Z97 board have the same build quality, it's just a matter of features, so if you need some features take a mobo that have them.

You should think about a asrock z97 extreme9 with you budget. It has a lot of features for the money and uses really high quality (12k capacitor etc) components and is blue so it looks nice unlike asus brown.

EDIT : the board is also ~$200 on newegg and I have one. It's really great!

Oh right thanks i will have a look at the asrock, and also I don't really need wifi as i am probably going to buy a separate wifi card and also my case won't have any windows so the colour doesn't really matter. Thank's for the help so far.

ASUS Z97-PRO LGA 1150 is quite good one.

I'd say go with the first one unless you need built in wifi.

P.S. you can always get a usb wifi thingy
