Hello. So I ended up with this motherboard. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130645 An MSI Z77A-G45. It is intended to replace my current asus z68v-pro which is having an issue asus doesn't seem to care and try and solve, the most I can get out of them is to pull the cmos battery which didn't fix the problem nor did RMAing it to them. So I said screw it and got a new board. It was on new egg for a pretty good deal, final price after discount code and rebate and it comes to like $65 + tax, very little time was left on the deal(minutes at the time) so I took a shot and ordered and figured I would research after the fact. It doesn't have anywhere near the reviews the asrock or asus boards do but its still 4 out of 5 eggs. Now before I go about installing it I am going to be doing some reading. And in the mean time was hoping for some opinions on the board and MSI as a brand from anyone here with experience with either. Did I make a good buy or would I be better off just getting a refund and going for another board?
