The "M" means its a miniATX format, everything is squeezed together so the board is smaller and will fit in a smaller tower

it is true that many customers complain about MSI...i want asus but i dont like the gold and black theme...their red and black which is ROG series are very expensive in my country... MSI's price range that i'm sure i can afford...i was searching for Asrock z97 fatality killer but mostly asrock boards in my country are AMD supported...kinda hard to find one
i want to spend less but with quality....i'm aiming for less than $170... i want a motherboard that can sli or crossfire can overclock well,has a m.2 socket for future use,nice audio and lan solution, nice aesthetics

The poster @MeteorsRaining said that:
MSI Gaming 5 uses higher quality components (primarily the capacitors) than Z97-A. That accounts for the higher rank.
MSI currently has no such issues, a couple of their boards, from AMD platform, were (rightly) critized of having overheating VRMs and DOA memory slots. Currently MSI has the same RMA rate as Asus, and they infact use high quality components, such rumours are biased and one should not be put off by it. MSI is as good as other brands, if not better.
I would said msi is good,some bias would come from same people....

MSI does indeed have a lot of low quality boards in the low end. But their gaming series is actually good quality.

Complain killer nic?My MSI Z97 gaming 5 didn't happen any problem....I would say just go MSI Z97 gaming 5,gaming series have best quality and best performance you should go.
PIEapple :
low quality boards in the low end and the price would be pretty low,so low end board would be have best value (just for unoverclocking guys).like msi 970 g43 best with low budget and won't overclocking people
i saw that board...its for budget really

Don't buy the 'm' model. It refers to the mini ATX in which small sized Pc components are compatible. get the other one,it will also be future proof.
