Some of the features you can see and others you'd have to look up on the companies' websites. There may be advantages to the MSI that I'm missing, and I had every intent to buy an MSI board for this upgrade because they seem to be the best overall choice nowadays. I haven't looked into the quality and number of power stages, and the MSI could be superior there for all I know.

The Gigabyte board has the following features that push it into a slightly nicer tier, whether you want them or not:
Heat sinks for all four NVME drives vs. just one
"Armor" for two of the DIMM slots
Better audio chipset
SPDIF output
Beefier VRM heatsinks?
Integrated IO shield
Built-in RGB and a reset button on board

You'll also notice the MSI board has some busy silk screening on it. This is sometimes used to hide a lack of features (so that you don't readily notice a lack of chips, slots, etc.). Again, MSI was the motherboard company I wanted to buy from because they're getting good reviews and I'm sure it's a fine board. One of the reasons it was chosen to receive coreboot was it was a good value and MSI had already sold a lot of them. Smilie

Would this be a great deal for someone who is building their first PC? I am very new to building so any insight would be greatly appreciated.

someone suggest changing the mobo and get DDR5... so it's more future proof.

what are you planning on doing with it? if it's just normal computering, you'll be fine with the components in this bundle.
swapping to another mobo and DDR5 will do nothing of note, just make the bill higher Wink

Anyone tried to get support from Gigabyte? MSI is horrid.
Wait what? I guess you don't know what horrid is. Gigabyte has the worst service on earth. Good luck reaching out to get a proper tech that knows anything.

It seems like for every manufacturer there are people that had a horrible experience and will never buy from them again and people who had the opposite experience. There doesn't seem to be a consensus best company to buy from.

I bought the Microcenter bundle of the MSI z690 pro wifi/12700k for $500 A year and a half ago. The motherboard is just a workhorse and it really makes it easy to undervolt the 12700k without losing performance. The wifi performance is also extremely solid. No Frills, just works.

Overall very pleased with the whole setup. I wish i got it at this price with Ram too lol.
