  1. Street Fighter

    my favourite of the bunch so far. awesome work MSI

  2. nice system build. In my dreams.

    Seriously though im thinking about this board for my next build – once I get my money back from DABS for a faulty product.

  3. I think the gigabyte boards look the best, but its not that big a deal when they all seem this good. ASUS Is my least favourite.

    Good job from MSI with this one – i have had good succcess in the past with MSI products.

  4. I think that this has to be one of the nicest looking 1150 boards that you’ve looked at in the past few days, well done MSI!

  5. bought, own it, love it.
