Okay guys I'm upgrading my motherboard so I can fit in my i5-3470 and I've been recommend on another forum that these 2 are the best for the price, so which one to choose?
B75M-DGS or B75MA-P33
Thanks.

Many like MSI, in my business though I get more problem calls about MSI mobos than any 2 other manufacturers put together, with no consistent problem, might have bad DRAM slots here, ethernet port there, USB on another, PCI-E on another, generally with problematic mobos there a common theme, MSI just has poor QC quality control, so if I were to build for clients on them it's very likely the builds would bite me in the butt and cost me money, have to check out the rig when there's a failure, take care of the RMA, provide a loaner while waiting on the RMA (and MSI is very slow), then explain why the 'replacement' mobo is a used refurb (which is what they've sent for the last few I was involved with), and then have to rebuild the computer again. Granted a bad mobo can come from any manufacturer, but when you see lots of them DOA or have a variety of failures within the first 30-60 days, you just say No to them. Most all of the builders and IT folks I network with feel the same, very few will build on MSI
