hello guys, I need help picking between two motherboards. My prosessor is i7 4790k and I'm looking at two motherboards right now mostly because of the color of them. Gigabyte GA‑Z170X‑Gaming 7 vs ASUS Sabertooth Z97 MARK 1

z97 mark 1 because it has the armor kit that i can paint white to go with rest of my build and z170x because it already had a little white in it. i don't know much about motherboards as it is my first build i'd really appreciate some help or if you have any other suggestions of good motherboards that are good and will go along with my all white build. 

 

Thank you in advance (:

The first one isn't compatible with 1150 socket cpu's, so the second one.

FX-6300 cooled by Nepton 240M | EVGA GTX 970 SuperClocked | 8GB G.Skill ValueRAM | Cooler Master 690 III | Sharkoon WMP 500 Bronze |
