For upgraders, the Asus board is suitable in my opinion, very good, since it has all the major features (latest Chipsat Z77, USB3.0, max. 32GB DDR3, etc.). Also the BIOS looks nice and has a lot of settings. The biggest drawback to the motherboard is the meager Zubehört (only 2 SATA cable, manual and driver CD), but is likely to interfere especially Tooling hardly. Who needs more equipment and accessories, just have to buy a better version of the board, but they are also more expensive.
