Both will perform the same really.

The MSI is shorter so if your case is tight it might be the better choice.

Both are great cards though.

well i cannot find how much power is needed to run the msi but the gigabyte needs 600w min to run so i will need to buy a bigger psu although the gigabyte is a little bit cheaper so really i want to know what one will be cooler and quitter?

i think my case can fit the gigabyte so that's not a problem.

Both will run on your 500w unit no problem.

what one is more silent under load?

 

[tiny voices]

They will be pretty similar. Not silent by any means though. Both will make noise. The MSI is probably quieter
