Going to order the parts tomorrow finally. One last question on the case, do you think the 2 stock fans are enough or should I buy extra ones? I'm not going to overclock heavily so I don'y think it's needed but just to make sure
If they are identical in price, clock speeds and coolers I would flip a coin. Otherwise, I'm leaning towards the MSI since it most likely has the aftermarket non-reference cooler design. So if it's the same price or a few bucks more than the gigabyte, then i would get it. Otherwise, flip a coin.
Thanks for the advice. Although I ended up ordering the Gigabyte since from the reviews I found they're practically identical but the gigabyte overclocks better because of the windforce fans.
