What ever fits your color scheme?

Both are good motherboards

 

gigabyte-(4x DDR3, 4x USB3.0, 10x USB2.0, GBE, LAN, HDMI)

msi-(4x DDR3, 4x USB3.0, 8x USB2.0, GBE, LAN, HDMI, VGA, DVI)

MSI has DVI/VGA if you use/care that

Which one best goes with your colour scheme?

 

if you don't care about colour schemes, what do you look for in motherboard features..?

 

In my opinion, I'd have a preference with the gigabyte board.

You might face graficscard/other card imcomatibility because of forward facing sata ports on the gigabyte + it will look untidy compared to MSI's solution.  The MSI board has angled connectors. Just saying

Unless you want to give me some more money for it. I'm on a budget :(
