Well you know if went with a different board instead...I'm just kidding. Both boards will support that processor, but both of them will require a BIOS update to the latest revision. For the ASRock it needs BIOS version P1.40 and for the MSI it needs 7640vJ9. No way around this I'm afraid.

I don't see any significant differences in terms of features other than the ASRock supporting up to four GPUs, while the MSI looks like it will only SLI/Crossfire. If that's not a concern, then the things to look at are the UEFI/BIOS features. Do you prefer working with ASRock's features and interface or MSI's?
