I can't decide between these two motherboards and don't see any difference apart from 15GBP and the heatsinks. Of someone could recommend one or tell me any other differences that would be appreciated.

The 65Gaming has 8 USB 2.0 Ports on the rear I/O and no Display Port, BROWN PCB and only suports up to 3000mhz RAM.

The Gaming 7 has 6 USB 2.0 Ports on the rear I/O and a Display Port.

The Gaming 7 has a BLACK PCB and supports higher RAM speeds.

They're the only differences i can see.

I'm No Expert At These Things But All I Could See Was That The MSI Z97-GD65 Had VGA Ports And Better Networking

It's up to you, from what I can see the VRM's are pretty much the same and each have different features...

The Gaming 7 has a M.2 port for those super fast new SSD's. But the GD64 has more audio options.

It's pretty much the same board, but I'd go with the GD65 due to the better design.
