Hey guys! I was just offered either one of these motherboards at an INCREDIBLE price! I need to pick one today but i have no idea which one would be the better board! Ive heard the MSI gaming 7 has only 2 USB 2.0 ports (which would barely be enough for a mouse/keyboard) so i was put off by that. But if anyone could help thatd be great!

I'd always choose the Giga gaming 5 or 7 over comparable MSI boards. They have a lower RMA rate in my experience and from what I see daily or on the forums, and have a much longer history of getting it right. Gigabyte in general that is. Better build quality and component selection as well.
