I just built a system: MSI B150M Mortar, i5-6500, Win 10 64, Samsung SSD, GTX 960, etc.
It's working fine and stable. However, I keep thinking that I should've bought a Z or H board although I'm a casual gamer. Money is not an issue, but I wonder if it's worth spending a few hours to replace the B150. What do you think?
 
I don't think I need a better performance from a motherboard. HOWEVER, there's one thing very annoying about the MSI B150M board. My USB keyboard & mouse are allowed to wake up my system from sleep. What that means is, thanks to the MSI Bios, my USB keyboard/mouse are also allowed to power on my system from the S5 state.
 
It's your call, things like that, if annoying I'll normally change out the mobo to a better one myself, can probably sell the old on ebay or whatever and get some money back or hang onto for a future build, (maybe a media server or the like). I'm not a fan of MSI anyway, I only do client builds on Asus, the Rock and GB.
