Hi all!

So I'm choosing between those two motherboards. Links in the bottom.
In general is going to be used for gaming.

The rest of my rig is linked here: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/7Hp7bv

Memory is missing. Can't decide which one to go for. :)

Looking forward to hear your thoughts on the mobo.

I'd go the Ranger, (won't touch MSI due to poor QC), what do you plan to do with the rig? as far as DRAM many still go with 8GB, I suggest 16 in a 2x8GB for new builds, might look at th Snipers or RipJaws X in 1866 or 2133, or go a step up to the higher performance Trident X

Will prob need to change the PSU isf running 2 GPUs, can save some money by forgetting the H60, and go with a hyper 212 EVO cooler or similar - they cool better than the H60, might only go one SSD and get a larger conventional drive for more storage

Allright. In general for gaming such as battlefield.
I already have the two gpu, SSD and the cooler. The only things I'm upgrading is Mobo, memory and CPU.

Great with some tips for Dram :) thank you so much
