ASRock H97 Pro4 vs ASUS H81 Gamer

Hey guys, 

I'm having some hard time deciding what MOBO to choose. I have an i5 4460, 16 GHz of 1600 RAM and a R9 380 4GB. I don't care about overclock (see the non-K CPU) and I am just a mid-level gamer. I don't know if I should go with ASROCK H97 Pro4 or the ASUS H81 Gamer (same price here). This is what I know:

ASRock: It's a newer chipset, windows 10 ready and supports from the start the 4460 CPU. 

ASUS: it's a older chipset, windows 8.1 ready (not windows 10 ready -yet), it need a bios update so the 4460 can run and it has supremeFX audio. 

 

TBH, I was 99% sure that I will get the ASRock MOBO. But that blue color scheme is ruining all because I have RED rams and an MSI video card. So the only real reason I would pick the ASUS is the color and maybe the SupremeFX audio. 

 

Let me know what would you do? Thank you!

I'm currently searching the market to build a PC myself. I don't really trust ASRock tbh. And asus has a very good looking BIOS and superb fan control...
