So I have two options as of now. I can buy the ASRock or my friend has a brand new MSI Gaming MOBO that he is willing to sell me for $80. He swears by the fact that the MSI is better quality which he is probably right since he is more experienced with computers then I am. My main concern is that will the MSI fit in my current build?
Here is my current build:
