Need Help Picking Components For Diy Router!

Decided to do a pfSense based router. Will be using an AMD FX-4300 (95W). Motherboard will be either Asus M5A78L-M/USB3 or MSI 760GM-P21 (FX). Need help deciding between the boards.
 
Asus has 2 more SATA ports, (partial, not full speed) USB 3.0 support and DVI+HDMI connectors. Also Asus can support 125W FX CPU's. Those are major differences.

At same price, I would take Asus. If MSI is enough for you and is cheaper, then it's your decision.

Thanks for actually answering the question instead of proselytizing for Intel CPU! Much appreciated.
