Help to decide between 2 MB

Hey all of you.
I am building new system and cant decide between MSI gaming pro and MSI gaming M7. There is not much difference between them, but I ask you, community of clever people, to help me decide. =) PC will be for gaming mostly, some overclocking. THX

The Pro has 2 more USB 3.0 and 1 more SATA Express connectors. The major difference is the price and if you don't need the extra connectors, then go for the Pro.

yeah the m7 is more expensive before some "armor" around I/O panel and some other specs. Just wanted to know if others see anything else important.

You are referring to the Z170 platform. Well, the MSI gaming M7 is the better quality motherboard with more connectivity options, but the pro gaming is a good choice also. P.S. I am also building a pc with Skylake and went with the Asrock Z170 Extreme 7+ (simply because there was a combo when I bought it) otherwise I would have gone for Asrock Z170 Extreme 6+. So I would also consider the Extreme 6+ if I were you. I think it is best on the market for what it offers at the price. And, if you are concerned about color scheme, I will have an MSI Gaming R9 390 and red RAM on that motherboard (the Asrock), so I think it will look nice.

well its nice board, but I dont see much of a difference. And for the color theme, I am really going for black red kind of pc.. even going to change ventilators to match that, so black gold scheme wont work for me =)

Ok. I understand. It's black and copper, btw, not that it matters very much.
