Key distinctions to note when picking between these options. Your processor is an i7-14700k. Consider the MSI PRO Z790-A MAX WIFI with LGA 1700 and GIGABYTE Z790 AORUS ELITE AX ICE also LGA 1700.

It uses Wi-Fi 7 rather than Wi-Fi 6E, but this won’t change much since the ICE display is mostly white. It’s odd that the listing says MSI supports AMD Ryzen 7000 chips, even though it doesn’t really matter which one you pick—just go for the cheaper option.

MSI's 14th gen BIOS updates have often been average at best, making them somewhat unreliable for the 14700K. They might have been improved recently, but problems persisted even a couple of weeks ago. For more stability, consider sticking with the Gigabyte board.
