I would get the GA-MA785G-UD3H. Its a full size ATX. Plus the US2H still has some old liquid filled caps. The UD3H has all solid caps.

GIGABYTE GA-MA785G-UD3H among these two.

What CPU have you got?
I suggest getting DDR3 RAM.

Yeap, a better board then the other two. A 10 phase power setup and Low RDS(on) mosfets. Used three of them, have one on my build now. Good Board.
