The best motherboard?

[fr]

Hi. Putting together a new computer and have 2 motherboards.
Which is the better one?

asus 885m-g
Or
gigabyte ga p75 d3

Thank you! :)
(Putting it together with an i5 4690 and a gtx 1070 ti)

"New".
Anyway, the choice is easy. The Asus is the better choice as the Gigabyte one does not support the i5-4690. The CPU does not even fit as the Gigabyte has a LGA1155 socket while the i5-4690 is a LGA1150 CPU.

I confirm that gigabyte board doesn't support 4th gen Chips. Not knowing what your budget is, but knowing the price of the 885m, I would assume you want to keep it on the less expensive side??. But if you plan on keep the system a while, I would like to make a suggestion and that would be to find a good LGA 1150 socket with a Z87 or Z97 chipset. It's probably going to be about 75 USD more, but IMO they are better chipsets. Just a suggestion, choice is ultimately yours. Good luck and have fun Building!!

its not a betetr chipset for the CPU he has. If he had a 4790K as example it would be different. But he doesnt need the fully unlocked BIOS as his overclockign capabilities are highly limited anyway and is not recomment for ppl that have no idea how to OC locked CPU's.

p75 is for 2nd-3rd gen i series cpu (2xxx-3xxx)
b85 is for 4th gen (4xxx)

of those 2 board only 1 will have the correct socket

even if it was a 4690k, it would be better than the 4690 even in a non z board
4690k will have higher base clock and turbo over vanilla 4690

that wasn't my point but...you are 100% correct, just like with the k chips the Z chipsets come with benefits as well even if one isn't over clocking. Allot of times they have better Audio chips and I/O
