I'm stuck with making my decesion on mobo/gpu combo.

the 2 options:

option A
MSI P45 Neo2-FR
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6813130184
and
MSI Radeon 4850
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6814127370

option B
ASUS P5Q Pro
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6813131299
with
ASUS EAH4850 TOP
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6814121272

I was originally going to get the asus p5q pro, and the combo gives you the overclocked version of the 4850 with a better cooler. However I read numerous reviews saying that mobo often comes DOA. Do MSI have a better track record?

DOA from my own experiences is just part of statistics (in other words if you're unlucky then you'll get one). I'd stick with option B.
