Both are great options but the AW has outdated HW.. also CF can't really make up for the 980M's performance.. I would suggest the Asus hence..

I would also suggest looking at the Sager NP9377-S as it will come with a 4810MQ, 2 mSATA slots, 2 HDD slots, 2X980M SLI, up to 32GB RAM and will beat both..
