I just bought one on Amazon from an authorized wholesaler and on-line reseller of MSI full line products. The price was $84, and I had a $50 gift card; so my final price was $34.
This will be my first board for LGA 1151 platform and I'm hoping it will last me a few years. If it doesn't oh well, it only cost me $34. Obviously money was a factor or else I'd have went with the full ATX Z270 TOMAHAWK like I had been wanting.
I'm a little concerned about it being mATX because I know they don't have as many power phases. I'll be using a Pentium G4560 until Coffee Lake releases their i7 or i5 K series. What do you think? Worth the risk? Better than buying a new B250?
