I'd go for the AsRock personally, more sata ports.

Take me down to the console city where the games are blurry and the frames are thirty - Guns N' Roses

Why do you need an AM1 mobo? It's so terribly outdated..

If you're going to use more RAM or if you're going to use an Mini PCI-e than get the MSI motherboard.

If you're going to use many SATA 6Gb/s ports then go for the ASRock motherboard.

 

They're both the same only one has more SATA ports and no Mini PCI-e connection.

No it's not. It was launched in April 2014, newer than AM3+. It's for low power systems.

Oh whoops. I'd never heard of it before so I figured 3 is more than 1 so AM3 was newer :P
