I have done plenty of research between the two and I cannot make a decision, but some recent price changes may be swaying me. I would like anyone's opinion on the subject as it would go a long way in helping me do this. So originally I was going with an ASRock motherboard but I decided on MSI. I was going with a gaming 5, which is currently priced at roughly $150. Upon going in to order my mobo, I see the gaming 6 priced at $88, new on Amazon. This seems really low, but it is backed by Amazons return policy. I'm just looking for someone's opinion on the subject, what do I stand to lose and gain from each board?

UPDATE: While I've done research on the features I haven't done much on personal product review. On Amazon, it has gotten quite a few that are DOA. Overall only a 3.9 review (Gaming 6). Is this a universal thing or just a few unlucky customers?

Antonline is a well-regarded seller on Amazon. They won't be selling an item as new if it is not. It may well be a clearance of some sorts. If you're set on MSI, go for it. Seems the gaming 6 is slightly better with more USB 3.0 ports.

That's what I wanted to heat. I just didn't know who the seller was or if they were well known ( yes I see all the reviews but as a former seller on eBay, I know that the amount of reviews doesn't equate to being a "good" seller). Thank you for the quick responses and helping me decide :).
