    I'm using the MSI 890FXA-GD70 and absolutely love it. It's got all the bells and whistles, it looks great and I've had no trouble out of it whatsoever.

    i'll chime in with my limited experience with different mobos.

    i've never used a gigabyte mobo, so i have no comment on them.

    i do have an asus with the 890gx chipset and i love it dearly. everything works just fine. flashing the bios is easily done from within windows. the hardware monitoring software it comes with is a breeze to use and works quite well.

    i also have an msi m-itx board. it also works great. however, the bios doesn't seem to report the cpu temp correctly. i also can't find any msi hardware monitoring software. but hwmonitor does work on it.

    anyway, from my previous builds, i'd go with an asus board. but that's not in your list of choices. so between the gigabyte and the msi, i can't give advice, only what i have seen as stated above.
