id go in favour of the EVGA as it's more powerful, with better build quality and a far superior customer support, plus you can purchase a separate backplate for it which the gigabyte doesn't have, moreover the gigabyte has a bright blue PCB which, i think looks awful.. looks aside, if the 40$ AUD is a big difference, i'd look for a different board partner such as ASUS/MSI as their build quality is on par with EVGA
