MSI 880GMS-E41 is a small Micro ATX board.


ASRock 770iCafe AM3+ is a larger ATX board.

So it would really depend on the size of your case more than anything.

I wouldn't buy either board, as neither of them support USB3 on board. But maybe this doesn't matter for you. A front port USB3 connector is now mandatory in my opinion.

Yeah, I made some changes, I am digging in deep trying to make my PC the best as possible for a price lower than 450$
