I prefer MSI, every top player uses it

network cards also became more expensive, so i would recomend buying better motherbord with wireless technology or you dont care about that

I don't have wifi on my pc and it has irritated me at times. I do use mine with an ethernet cable but if I have to shuffle my desk around the room to redecorate it, having to run the cable is a nuisance.

msi is known bad for warranties and returns. msi has slightly better audio codec. asus has better ui in bios (opinion). asus seems to have more usb ports, but msi supports 3.2 usb, asus only up to 3.1

Well the differences are minor, better price obviously better choice but Asus seems to support better ram speeds also and have 8 phase capacitors on CPU, msi has 7. so maybe more stable overclocks if you have K CPU

More personal preference. Imo msi is better, bios is great.

The motherboard I have is an asus b250 prime pro. I got it because it wasn't the cheapest one and had every connector I needed. So far I have used the bios probably <5 times since I built my pc in 2017. Point is, the mobo is not a thing you really have to spend a lot of moeny on. Get one that is cheaper and that fits all your storage needs and has all the headers/connectors etc.
