Which would be better?

[Gamree]

Hello, I'm new to these forums, and I need help on making a decision for building a new computer. I hope this is the right board to post this in, and if it's not, then sorry.

Anyway, I'm building myself a slightly cheap, new gaming computer, but am having problems with choosing a motherboard. I've found two likely candidates, but I don't know much about mobos, and I don't know which one is better overall. I would like advice and suggestions on which would be better for my gaming needs.

Mobo 1
Newegg.com - GIGABYTE GA-M55SLI-S4 Socket AM2 NVIDIA nForce4 SLI ATX AMD Motherboard - Retail

Mobo 2
Newegg.com - MSI K9N Neo-F Socket AM2 NVIDIA nForce 550 MCP ATX AMD Motherboard - Retail

Thanks in advanced to anyone who helps.

The gigabyte seems pretty sweet. I don't know about the overclockability.
I have the Tforce550 and apparently it overclocks well, it just depends on what you are looking for.

Would you say that the Gigabyte one is better than the MSi, or vice versa?

I like the gigabyte..

I would say, if your going SLI use the gigabyte one, if your just using 1 videocard then just use the one more better chipset in the MSI one.

I would get the Biostar Tforce550 as someone stated or the MSI if you don't want to overclock.
