MSI Gaming 5 or Gigabyte GA-Z97X-Gaming 7

FatalBurrito · Jan 7, 2015

At Micro Center I have a choice between these 2 as bundles to get $40 off. Which one should I get? I am building a red and black system so if there are any others for around this price that match this color scheme that would be better what are they? Thanks

I'd go for the MSI, I have the Gaming 3 and it's real solid. The Gaming 5 won kitgurus best mobo of 2014, too.
Both are really good value, but I would pick the MSI.

ditto on the gaming 5. i have one as well and love it. paired with a 4690k and an 212 evo cooler it works great.

the audio boost logo in the bottom left lights up red and puts a nice red glow to that corner of the board as well

Yeah, they are incredibly similar boards. But the MSI looks better (imo) and the BIOS is very easy to work with.
No point just saying GIGABYTE AND GSKILL MEMORY without saying why
