either is good, i'm more fond of gigabyte as all of my gigabyte motherboards had outlived my asrock/asus/ecs motherboards.
MSI tends to be more expensive.

just check the review sites whether theres some things to take note of.
e.g. EVGA's ACX are having a really bad time, and gigabyte currently has the top factory OC card.

Pretty much the only difference that matters will be cooling solution and physical size of the board

I would go with MSI. They seem to have the edge over other cards with the current 900 series. Not to mention they look better than gigabyte. In my experience I have seen msi last longer. YMMY.

(On another note, are you just helping him build a 'general-purpose computer' or are you paying for all the components to gift him as well? )
