Any build with an Asus board is going to be better than a build with an MSI MB.

Other than that, please name your parts like this:

P5Q Pro

Or like this
P5Q Pro

So we don't have to click all your links. We know what the parts are already if you name them.

I've heard good things about MSI. I'd put them at #3, below Asus and Gigabyte.

I'd put MSI at the same level as Biostar and ASRock, their boards have issues commonly. DFI, ASUS and Gigabyte boards tend to be highest quality, but every once in a while Biostar or ASRock or MSI will make a decent board.

You are comparing an Asus P45 board+High end DDR2 800 ram + Saphire 4870 1GB to an MSI P43 board + midrange DDR2 800 ram + Powercolor 4870 512mb...its kinda obvious isn't it?
