Both are essentially the same board sporting the same form factor, same audio codec, and the same number of DIMM slots however the similarities end there since the Gigabyte board sports two additional PCI slots with only one PCI-Ex1 slot with the MSI having two PCI-E x1 slots.

Be sure to update your BIOS after you build your system.
