Asus Z170a or Msi Z170a Krait gaming? or another board?

Hello will be getting an I5-6600k but unsure which Mobo to get. Currently torn between Asus Z170a and Msi Z170a krait gaming. The msi board is cheaper by $10Usd. 

 

Not sure what is the difference between this two boards or is there a better options within my budget?

 

Thank you!

i'd go for a gigabyte Z170X-UD3, just as it's USB3.1 chipset is an intel one instead of an ASmedia chipset on those 2 but it's usually about $10 more than the Z170-A.

Intel i5-6600K@4.2GHz, 16GB Crucial DDR4-2133, Gigabyte Z170X-UD3, Be quiet shadow rock slim, Sapphire RX 480 Nitro+ OC, Fractal design Integra M 550W, NZXT S340, Sandisk X110 128GB, WD black 750GB, Seagate momentus 160GB, HGST 160GB

i am hovering over this two because of the white colour scheme i am planning to do.

 

thanks for the recommendation tho!
