Hey guys i'm building a computer for my friend i got everything figured out except I cant figure out which is better the GIGABYTE GA-Z77X-UD4H and the MSI Z77A-GD55. It has to be one of these boards really no other options.  I appreciate any input thanks guys.

The reasoning it has to be 1 of those is to go along with what i'm planning for the build. Unless there's a similarly designed board that is better that i'm missing. i'm still leaning more towards the Gigabyte but something in me is saying get the MSI.

they're both pretty cracking boards, just go for the one that you find aesthetically the most pleasing ;)

I personally really like my gd65 which has similar or the same aesthetics.

which do you guys think go nicest with black sleeved cables a msi hawk 7870( possible crossfire) and dominator platniums?

I would go with the GIGABYTE GA-Z77X-UD4H if you want it to match your black sleeved cables.
