They're both good boards. If you get the MSI, will you spend the saved money on another component?

They're basically the same, but the ASUS can run higher clocked memory.

Actually, if you want the ASUS board,there is an M4A79-T Deluxe in the F/S section for $140 shipped!

http://www.overclock.net/main-compon...790fx-am3.html

ASUS has a standard warranty, so you dont need to worry about having to RMA warranty coverage.

Here is the actual board;
