Any preferred option here or major differences I need to worry about?

Some quick thoughts: CIR header on the ASRock, CPU socket placement is different, which may impact case / cooler compatibility. Ideally, post prices you can get these for and some requirements for your build, as it will help people start to differentiate between two otherwise (largely) interchangeable boards. Smile

ASUS is $3 more than the ASRock including shipping.

BTW I responded to your PM.

If the Asus is only $3 more than its a no brainer, get the H77 over the lesser spec B75 or get the ASrock H77M-ITX.
