I would personally favor the Asus. I liked the board and they are generally more reliable than the MSI motherboards by my experience.

just to play devils advocate I happen to like MSI boards as shown in my sig. Asus makes great boards but I have had great luck with MSI boards as long as it's not an entry level one, and they tend to be much more cost efficient

the only thing i don't like about this Asus board is its onboard sound and layout. MSI has excellent onboard sound and better layout but heck, i've never owned a MSI board before and most of you said Asus, so i'll go with Asus.

One more vote for Asus. I have never have a problem that can't be fixed with their boards. I had two MSI boards that fell victim to the bad capacitors and cooked ram in both cases plus lost data. I liked the MSI boards till that happened.
