So as you can see I got the Extreme 4 for $55.
Microcenter is selling the MSI Gaming 5 for 104 + 30% off so itd be $72.8 before tax
Do you guys think the MSI 5 is worth a 40 min trip (total time) and the extra like 17 bucks? Or should I just keep the Extreme 4? BTW the serial number for the Extreme 4 starts with 51, so maybe it won't have the power problem that most of the Extreme boards have.
So guys, opinions?
