ASUS vs Gigabyte....which one?

Are you planning on doing SLI? I'd get an AM2+ board for Phenom support if you ever wanted to go that route in the future.
 
I would go with the Asus M2N-E. To me, Asus is a safer bet. I ran this board without any issues.
 
I personally am more of a fan of Giga-byte than Asus due to some more recent encounters (Asus isn't my least fav., however giga-byte is becoming one of my most favs due to good experiences). I wouldn't go with either board right now though, because even though you say that you will buy a new board during the next upgrade, there is no reason to limit yourself now to where if you could get a better board for the same or less amount of money, why not.

for example, the biostar T-Force AMD 770 chipset motherboard $89 shipped:

Also an Asus version $107 shipped:

And if you are feeling really risky, MSI 790X open box for $87 shipped (even more advanced than the previous two):

well im going intel next time so thats why i said i dont need an am2+, i got my amd cheap so i went with it, i like the asus i posted because it has good reviews and a nice heatsink thing on it, i was just debating so i think i'll go with the asus for now, no open boxes for me
 
I been having problems with recent ASUS boards.
ASUS used to be the best mb manufacturer but I do no think it is true anymore
Gigabyte and Abit are my preferred brands.

I'm witth most of you! Asus isn't what it use to be IMHO. Any company that can't get their website in order isn't worthy of my money! Left Asus for Gigabyte with my new build.
