Hey fellas need confused about these two motherboards...

One is Asrock b75m and other is Msib75a-e33 i check the specs overall i liked the Msi one but still need your suggestion..

The MSI has a slightly better on-board audio chip, but you should also make sure that the number and type of PCI and PCIe slots meet your requirements. Then buy the one that's best for you.

Yeah i was also thinking of msi it has more pci slots as compared to Asrock but have only one sata 3 that is disadvantage of msi.

Will you install more than one SSD? The B75 chipset supports a single SATA III port; the other 2 are on the ASMedia ASM1061 controller that can be used for eSATA.

ASRock
- 1 x PCI Express 3.0 x16 (PCIE1: mode x16)
- 1 x PCI Express 2.0 x16 (PCIE2: mode x4)
- 2 x PCI

MSI
- 1 x PCIe 3.0 x16 slot
- 2 x PCIe 2.0 x1 slots
- 3 x PCI slots

If you'll never need the second PCI Express 2.0 x16 (x4) on the ASRock, then the less expensive MSI meets your requirements.
