I've got terrible experience with both manufacturers' motherboards and I won't buy (or recommend) any of their products on principle.


As for motherboard... If you want best, go for DFI Lanparty

I would say go for the Gigabyte, unless you are trying to build a tiny computer like I did I would recommend going for ATX vs MicroATX, ATX boards have more expansion options and are typically less cramped. Gigabyte's latest boards are incredible, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone

For AMD, go with Asus for sure. It runs cooler. Aside from that, they are the same chipset so really, perhaps get what is cheaper. The only reason Gigabytes newer boards are "incredible" is because they aren't utter crap and they actually work well. Gigabyte + AMD has never worked well for me, I've had several issues with several boards spanning from s754 through AM3.
