Not sure....they both seem god awful, based on reviews. Always see high fail rate for reviews and DOAs on AMD motherboards though...

What? This guy doesn't know what he is talking about. Both are decent entry level boards. I would get the Gigabyte one, though. It seems to have way more features than the Asus one. Plus, it has more PCI-E slots (if you ever want to use another slot for whatever reason). Also, I feel like the Gigabyte one looks much better

42% and 52% only 5 star out of 154\389 respective reviews? Yeah thats a superb board. A ton of DOAs or partially not working boards + some stasting they run hot or dont OC well. Yeah. FANTASTIC.
