Both are good depends really on what one you like better.(look wise)

Also from my experience OC gene from MSI cant do any thing you can already do

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.

Personally I've had good success with gigabyte boards. 

- Silverstone TJ08B-E - Gigabyte Z87M-D3H - i7 4770k @ 4.0GHZ 1.2v - 16gb Kingston HyperX Black 1600 - Gigabyte GTX 770 OC 4GB -


- Silverstone Fortress FT02 - MSI Z77 Mpower - i5 3570k @ 4.0GHZ 1.09v - 8gb Mushkin Blackline 1600 - MSI GTX 670 PE -


- Lenovo T430 (1600x900) - i5 3210m - 8GB DDR3 1333 - nVidia NVS5400M - 256GB mSATA OS - 320GB HDD-

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 :(
