@apv1986 I wouldn't say that those mobos that I have listed have any extra features than the MSI that you have listed, but they have better quality and as far as mobo goes, ASUS and Gigabyte are preferred...And these boards come at better price and combos...

But the MSI is becoming better too...So there is no problem going with that board...

As for the HDD, even though you have got a 7200RPM drive, there are other major factors such as Platter density and cache, which affect the performance...
