Best bundle of the two options

As price difference is so small, id be swayed by the gigabyte board option due to their support having a good reputation, and uk based too.
 
Cheers guys, have read a few detailed reviews on both. As you said there is not a lot in it but the MSI board seems to have a few features that trump the Gigabyte model. I like the supplied MSI software, such as the command centre for ease of overclocking etc (This is my first build and will be my first experience of overclocking).
The Audio on the MSI also had the thumbs up from the reviews I read. I'm also digging the RGB lighting and think it would look cool in a Define S windowed, which is my planned case.
I'm not to keen on the red accents of the MSI board but I believe the "Carbon" version is out soon and looks great.
 
I got the Gigabyte bundle the other week. I wouldn't really entertain overclocking with the windows software but I've always been happy with Gigabyte products & support.

Although I'm used to overclocking, the last chip I clocked was a Q6600. A quick browse of skylake overclocking guides and I have the 6600k in this bundle stable at 4.7Ghz at 1.35v.

Overall, the board is nice and the classic bios is easy to use, recommended from me!
