I would choose the msi for it's dvi port and one reviewer got his 4100 to work without a bios flash. Both boards are limited to 95w cpus, which limits it to lesser phenom II's and bulldozers.

I've seen this same comparison, and as I recall my advice was to choose the one with the most useful I/O peripherals to your purpose. I double-checked and they bot support your ADX455WFK32GM CPU. 'I' prefer the ASUS BIOS.

MSI 760GM-P23 (FX) - http://www.msi.com/product/mb/760G [...] div=Detail

ASUS M5A78L-M LX - http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/A [...] ifications

RAM - IMO I also would look at both more RAM 2x4GB and a 64-bit OS. RAM 2x4GB Kits - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 231-426-TS

PSU - Corsair Enthusiast Series TX650 V2 - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6817139020
The OCZ are prone to coil whine.
