I maybe the only MSI fan out there, but I use one, and my friends use them as well, and our havent failed and I love the Bios.

That's a close one. Go with the Gigabyte. Cheaper, and looks like it supports everything you need. Why pay $20 more? Both brands are using the same parts, and will probably last just as long as the other.

Gigabyte GA-P67A-UD4/ ASUS P8P67 PRO

or ASRock P67 Extreme4 if you want it cheaper.

 

[AjsGuns]

so the Gigabyte GA-P67A-UD4/ ASUS P8P67 PRO are the same board basically? i dont care about shelling out the extra $20 for the ASUS just want to know which one i should get, is the ASUS better if i SLI?

Just to clear one thing up also - the H67 motherboards you cant put in video cards they use onboard graphics but the P67 boards you can put in a gtx 570 for example, thats the difference if im correct?
