Gigabyte Z690 Aorus Pro vs Gigabyte X299X Designare 10G

The Gigabyte Z690 Aorus Pro makes for a good, if unremarkable, Motherboard for people with a $300 budget.

The Gigabyte X299X Designare 10G, however, is merely mediocre at its $735 asking price, when compared to similarly priced products, and won't satisfy the needs of most people.

In either case, we suggest that you first take a look at some other options at the $300 and $660 price points before committing to one of these - it's likely that you'll be able to find some better alternatives.
