I would take the ASRock just over it's form factor size alone, ATX vs Micro ATX.

For later on if you ever decide to get two cards it would be beneficial, as you can have greater spacing between the cards rather then a hairline.

As far as features go, The ASRock has plenty of what you need, more then you'll probably ever need.

Reworked capacitors are also much better then those you'll get on the MSI.

12 phase CPU power design which is prime for Haswell overclocking.

They both do the same thing when you compare them, and neither can be called better then each other.
