Hi

Both these boards appear to match my needs:
4x DIMM slots
6x SATA3 ports
Crossfire support (16x/4x)

I'll be pairing it with an i7-6700 (non-K) and one RX 480 (for now.)

The only difference is that the MSI Mortar has USB3.1 support and is $5 more expensive than the Gigabyte where I am in South Africa.

Does anyone have any experience with these two boards? Is one more reliable than the other? Is USB 3.1 *THAT*MUCH* of an improvement over USB 3 - practically?

Thank you

if you handle them correctly shouldn't matter.
The gigabyle one do have a m.2 slot for ssd, just in case you need it, MSI one is for wifi card only
gigabyte have 2 PCI while MSI have 2 pcie x1

other then that it about the same
