i5 3350p
gtx 660

and was gonna get
MSI B75MA-P45 for mobo

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

but then i heard some people and my friends talking about how easily msi mobos go wrong after few months.

I know asus mobos are good, but is it really that bad? I wasnt thinking of overclocking at all, so i thought msi would be fine for me

or could you suggest me a better mobo than msi one if there is one? price between 40 ~ 80

I'm using a MSI Z77a-G45 for a year now and never had any trouble with a really high OC (4.83ghz at 105mhz Baseclock) and i had 3 ASUS motherboard that failed on me (2 Rampage Formula and a P4P800 E-DLX), i never had any trouble with MSI and Gigabyte and still running a Gigabyte P45 that replace my Rampage Formula as i don't wanna toast another GPU in there (a 4870 and a 5770 died in both rampage i've had...)

MSI is still a lot better than something like Biostar so for the low price, they can't be beat...

Of course Gigabyte and ASUS tends to OC more but since you don't wan't to overclock it's not really a problem...

Never heard of MSI motherboards having major problems, but maybe someone else could chime in. Or I don't know if you did some google search for your specific model to see if there are any known issues.

Anyways, I know that Asus and Intel boards are very popular. Gigabyte also has a solid reputation for mobos.

I know I dropped them from my build mobos, a couple years back, Quality and quality control was slipping even before then, many of the other builders/consultants/etc I network with have also dropped them some time ago, mainly I and others stick to Asus, the Rock and GB

You are not doing any overclocking on your setup.
It should run just fine.
