I've been building PCs for 20 years
and the problem I see is that, no matter how great the reviews MSI gets, in the field, their products are problematic. I can speak as someone who has built (and had to replace, when I worked for someone else) hundreds of MSI mainboards.

Now that I work for myself, you really could not pay me to use an MSI mainboard. With the slim margin I make on builds and upgrades, it is not worth taking the chance.
