Installation of cards was much easier. Better layout of fanports. CPU OC-ing was much easier as well and the IO port fit perfectly unlike the z87 I have right now. Build quality also felt better and better aesthetics.
The only reason I went intel right now is because the setup I wanted was cheaper due to discounts at my supplier. I regret it ever since.

Similar experiences for me, I am on my 3rd Gigabyte Windforce card, all have worked flawlessly, I have also had very positive expereinces with the Sapphire non reference cards, however, my last two MSI cards both failed, to be fair, I think every manufacturer has a % failure rate, if we are one of the unlucky % that get one then we are scarred from the experience.Have 5 Gigabytes running and have moved from MSI to Giga.. had 3 MSI cards in a row die within 3 months. no warnings no overclock just out of the box use. I wont buy MSI stuff have over my 30 years building experence had some of the poorest luck with MSI. I will always look at it and maybe choose some to test as bad batches and short term {usually} quality problems happen. But of recent I have had the best luck with Gigabyte series UD 3 and 5 MBs and Vid cards. Also had good luck with EVGA.. so buy what you like but watch for history on a board or card.
