MSI, Biostar, Gigabyte

I'd appreciate if you guys would help me redecide on a mobo just so that I can be a bit less paranoid.

The only real difference I see is that the Gigabyte has onboard video, meaning the other two have a 500 series bridge while it doesn't (I don't need the onboard video, and I don't know if I need 500 series?). The specs are basically identical other than that, so I'm mostly asking what's the better brand.

I say go for the Gigabyte it look like it is the better than the other two. I looked at the same motherboard cause it had onboard video so I wouldn't have too buy the video card right away and would upgrade other things. But the motherboard is a very important part of the computer are you sure you want to cheap out on it? If you have a little more money I would find a better motherboard.

Hope this helps.
