Both are good motherboards. I own both ASUS and MSI (and a few from ASRock). Looking at the specs - they are almost identical. I do have personal favoritism towards ASUS/ASRock, but that is personal preference, not scientific....

Well, I'm actually going to be using CrossfireX but I'm assuming they still run off the same speeds of x8/x8 or x16/x4?

Crossfire at X8 X8 is about 10% faster than at X16 X4 so going with a board that supports that makes a difference. The LK version of the Asus board http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=2522311&CatId=6976 or the MSI you linked to both would achieve that.

Hmmm, I think the MSI one since they are both about equal as you said, but it matches my Blue LEDs better.
Also, I don't see it by looking at the pictures but maybe I just missed it, can you tell if they have a plug-in for a front panel USB 3.0 slot? My Case came with it and my old Mobo had it, but I don't see it on either of these. Am I missing it?

You sir, have done it again. Thank you very much for the help! I'll go with the MSI since the color scheme matches better. Thank very kindly!
