Most Favorable Review

Great Value

MSI Z97 U3 Plus LGA 1150 Intel Z97 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
MSI Z97 U3 Plus LGA 1150 Intel Z97 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: Great BIOS Whole bunch of usb 3.0 ports Really great overclocking options for the price Great looking without being overly flashy Some of the pre-installed programs are actually a bit useful

Cons: Bloat-ware First attempt to flash the BIOS almost killed the board, had to go on the MSI website and download the old bios to a flashdrive to boot it directly to the board. This is apparently a relatively common issue when trying to flash the bios from the msi update center thing.

Overall Review: I got this because my other ASUS board died during installation and I wanted something from another manufacturer. This is my first official computer build so I don't have much of a reference point but for a relative beginner it is easy to use and performs great. Happily overclocks.
