Depends on what you want. Do you need the higher end board and features or are you find with a stripped down basic model? They both will OC similarly, but the feature-set and probably overall quality are the biggest differences. Only you can decide that though.

You need to figure out what you want from this build and what you want to use your PC for, then choose the board that most closely matches those needs.

Good card still, and either board will work perfect in that respect. I really doubt there'd be any difference in gaming stock-for-stock using XMP memory profiles.

Go with the -A, :toast:
