lol you said bioshock it's biostar it cool though.

The gigabyte is way better. Better quality better performance just better everything. There are other motherboards out there besides those two that will be just as good.

agreed with Fatback, Gigabyte is just a more reliable well built motherboard.

I have a MachSpeed board myself, which is an offshoot of another Biostar board. They're entry level boards that aren't that good (but I do love mine!)

However I would personally go with Gigabyte.

Never had ANY issues with gigabyte boards.

Used in the past 10 PCs I have built for myself or family/friends and no a single issue with BIOS or DOA and they have lasted many years.

Gigabyte and MSI are top motherboard companies.

I didn't notice the 8x/8x. Thanks for pointing that out.

I don't know why I was thinking bioshock. LOL

Only reason I was thinking about this one was because of the price.
