I'm building a PC for a friend, with a Pentium G4560. I'm trying to decide between the MSI B250M PRO-VD and the ASRock B250M-HDV.

The ASRock is cheaper, although I have tons of experience with MSI MoBos and trust them.

Please give your thoughts and opinions.
 
Get this, but I highly suggest saving for a 1050Ti for $20 over budget, well worth it.
