I am really bad when it comes to motherboards, all I know is to see the features, but not the quality of it.

Wich one of these is worth more?

MSI - B85-G43
Asus - B85-Plus

The Asus motherboard looks to have a more dense motherboard covered with chips and wirings, so I am guessing it is the best quality one but I really want to know if that's how you see it!
I don't plan to do any big overclocks anyways, this is for a budget build.

Thanks in advance

Well price gaps are different around the world if He's in the US the difference could be a little bigger. For 4 eurosI would go asus.

You can't overclock with either of those boards if you want to OC then you HAVE to buy a Z87 chipset... however I've used that Asus board on a build and I did really like it, bios was very straight forward and everything worked well. can't speak either way to the MSI board (they do make some quality stuff too) but I would recommend the Asus board personally as I've never had an issue with any of their stuff.

If this were me buying between the two parts I would definitely go with the MSI, simply because both of them are essentially the same motherboard, and you are saving twenty dollars you could put to another part. You mentioned it was a budget build, and you might be able to work that 20 dollars into more memory, or get a slightly better processor.

My reasoning for saying that the MSI and the Asus are the same is that they support the same memory, have identical onboard lan cards, and very similar onboard sound cards. The only difference really is the Asus has more PCI expansion slots, which in your case shouldn't matter since I doubt you'll run SLI on a "budget" build.

If you are looking to upgrade in the future, this might not be the best motherboard to select however as to it only supports low-average speed RAM modules, which could really limit your options if you ever wanted to convert your computer into a 'gaming' build.

I hope I could have been of some help.

I don't know about dollars but In euros the difference is MSI = 80€ and Asus = 84€, that 20 dollars seems a bit too much for me? Maybe you should look on another websites.
