Hi
At first i have made up my mind about Asus motherboard but now this gigabyte motherboard looks good too. so i am confused now.they both have what i need so which one should i select?? Are there any difference between them in real world performance. The computer would be used for gaming mostly. i am open to suggestions.
Thanks
