I build few computers a month, and sell them.. I get amazing deals at my local Microcenter and Ive tried MSI motherboards on 3 different occasions, one was the gamer 990 AMD one, i dont remember the specific number, the other was the 970 G 46 I believe (2 of them) on all of them their Idle temperatures were unacceptable. talking mid 50s for Idle and over 70 for Gaming (Battlefield 4) I even took them back and swapped em with same model and experienced the same issues..

Just don't buy Budget MSI Ive had nothing but horrible experience with them.. Always end up taking it back to microcenter and exchange for Asus or Gigabyte.. Yes im talking about pairing it with the 6300.. 6300 is a great processor for the price :)

Ive built with Biostar a few times (Mixed reviews on that as well)

But yeah i feel like anything but Gigabyte and Asus is really just taking a gamble
