The msi motherboard has more updated features, I have had a good experience with msi I recently used about 10 of their more updated 1150 version of a board that was a lot like that one just with a couple new upgrades.

I always love the extra features on the gaming motherboards though, Gigabyte boards are good for things like I used to use them on all of my clients pc's until they screwed me over with 3 boards with bent pins and refusing an rma. But I always say go with what ever company you have had the best experience with in the past
