A couple of differences jump out, the MSI supports SLI and crossfire while the Gigabyte is crossfire only. The other difference is the MSI makes no mention of USB 3.1 support while the Gigabyte does. If either of those things matter to you... otherwise there isn't a great deal of difference, they're both known brands. If one is cheaper you might just want to get that.

I don't need usb 3.1. I'm afraid the motherboard have overheating issues. my friend tell me the power phase is important when you chose the motherboard. but I don't know what's that?
