They're both solid mobos. I'd go with the gigabyte one because it is just beautiful.

Almost all gigByte ones are. I had to RMA one because I was stupid and there was nothing wrong with the board. I got a diff board, MSI and I wish I just got the same board even tho it was matx it just looked great.

The most i could put in is about $10 more then either of those. so like 130 after rebates

Go with the gigabyte just pure beutifulness. Especialy with an evga card, 450d or 750d, and custom sleVed black and grey wires. Mmm.

Edit: and a bequiet dark risk pro 3.

I believe I recommended this for a build for someone on this site not too long ago. It really is a pretty fully featured board for a great price. Gigabyte has done right by me and others in my family and I would recommend them to everyone at this point.

Too many ****ing games!  Back log 4 life! :S
