Which mother board is better? Msi or gigabyte?

[iftihq]

I was going to built a gaming pc and i am confused on these two motherboards.
1. MSI b150 gaming m3
2. Gigabyte g1 sniper b7

I am going to use i5 6500 cpu. And which one is better between these two and why?

And is there any other model of msi b150 gaming m3 with the same name?

If you have any other sug of motherboard other than this then feel free to tell, and oviously within the budget of these.

And is there such things thatvi must use the same brand motherboard and graphics card for best performance or it does not matter between same brands?

Thanks in advance.

Generally the B150 is not the best solution. From the two I would go with the Gigaybyte. It seems more well equipped. Also MSI has been having some quality control issues lately.

I would prefer an h170 or even z170 (despite the non-k cpu). Generally i focus on the vrm and the connectivity of the boards (usually Gigabyte). The B150 is designed with less features and some times feels sub par.

I would go for the MSI

I would consider looking at other options, along the Asus lineup. I've been running the ROG series and their parts are never a let down. High quality, lasts forever, always performs, just overall great products with lots of extra features to help you overclock and get new drivers etc.

From the ROG to the B150 is a very big distance. Just saying.

Of the two, I'd definitely go GB, I won't build on MSI (poor QC), Could look to Asus, the H170 Pro gaming is a good mobo

But i am looking for a mobo with similar price tag as the above. So out of those gigabyte would be better?
