asus board is good, so is the k5. i choose the Asus. overclocks the 1700x just fine, i don't see why the 1700 would give you grief.

I'd say either one would probably take you to the limit of that 1700 honestly. I would just pick whichever is prettier because they're both fine boards. 

CPU: INTEL Core i7 4790k @ 4.7Ghz - Cooling: NZXT Kraken X61 - Mobo: Gigabyte Z97X SLI - RAM: 16GB G.Skill Ares 2400mhz - GPU: AMD Sapphire Nitro R9 Fury 4G - Case: Phanteks P350X - PSU: EVGA 750GQ - Storage: WD Black 1TB - Fans: 2x Noctua NF-P14s (Push) / 2x Corsair AF140 (Pull) / 3x Corsair AF120 (Exhaust) - Keyboard: Corsair K70 Cherry MX Red - Mouse: Razer Deathadder Chroma

Bit of an AMD fan I suppose. I don't bias my replies to anything however, I just prefer AMD and their products. Buy whatever the H*CK you want.

Wasn't ASUS bad with BIOS updates for their AM4 motherboards? And wasn't Asrock really good with them BIOS updates for AM4? Seems somewhat important when trying to OC...

 

Anyways, I would look into the Taichi if I were you. Lots of good reviews and lots of quality YT vids about that motherboard.
