I'm trying to decide between two motherboards for my build: the MSI MPG Edge Ti and the AORUS Pro Ice (I'm going for a white theme). I'd love some advice on how to choose between them!

Both options are solid! I've used Aorus for a long time and I think it edges out MSI in terms of VRM quality (16+2+2 vs 14+2+1). Plus, if you're going for a white aesthetic, the Aorus looks great! Just keep in mind that MSI has a 5Gb LAN if that's something you'll use.
Do you really need the features of the X870E? If not, you might want to consider going with a B650 or B850 motherboard instead, as they can be more cost-effective.
It really comes down to your budget and what features you need. Without knowing more about your requirements, it's tough to say which one is better! Just go for the one that catches your eye more.
I'm personally leaning towards the MSI. I love their BIOS and overall build quality. But if you really need the features of X870E, make sure the B850 won't cut it for you.
I'd suggest checking the I/O options on both boards and see which fits your setup better. If you're not sure, you could always flip a coin!
Thanks for the input! I think I'm going to lean towards MSI, mainly because of how easy they are to install, and honestly, I don’t see a huge difference between the two!
