I usually just play games like csgo and gta v. Which of these two boards are better for me? Or which is just better in general?

This is my build: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/TRambo/saved/

AsRock has more bling bling, however I would stick to an MSI. I have had 1st hand experience with ASUS and Gigabyte, no problems with them. I've heard lots (of good) about MSI.

 

If you go with an AsRock, you should probs be fine, but if you have a problem with it (which is more likely than with other motherboard vendors) then it will be harder for you.

For example, someone bought an AsRock board, took a video of building the PC, and it turned out that the mobo had a bent pin. Despite the video, AsRock still denied that the problem was with the installation, although it was clearly DOA.

 

If you don't need the bling, I would stick with MSI.

If I've said something wrong, please correct me

Holdup, ASRock is an extremely under-appreciated company that really deserves more coverage if you will, Because companies like MSI are more well known they'll be peoples first choice

ASRock fatality gets a +1 in my book
