Hi bobkm. I now understand your concern. I thank you for it. Now, ever since you suggested the Asus mobo I've been reconsidering the mobo I'm thinking of getting. That said, it now comes down to these 2 mobos.
I know you already gave your suggestion. But I want to give you additional info to help you help me make a better decision.
1) I don't want to do Sli or Xfire.
2) I want my desktop for gaming but will buy an Nvidia 1080 in the future, just don't know when.
3) I'm on a budget.
4) I don't need to OC - unless that can future-proof the mobo.
Also, the mobo you suggest can OC ram. And its got other features I'm sure the other mobo lacks. If you think this Asus is still a better option for me then I'll buy it. I just hope the audio on it is very good.
Please let me know.. I'm going to make a decision as soon as you reply. Thanks.

------- EDIT -------
I finished reading all the reviews of the Asus mobo you suggested. There are complaints about the long boot times. This is a red flag for me. Just letting you know.
