I have made a huge mistake...Help?

[Mirakledba]

The otherday I bought an MSI Z87 G65 motherboard....great board. But for 10$ more I could have bought this.

[johnnyb105]

You could send it back pay a restocking fee of like 15 bucks and then pay the 10 bucks to get the asus so thats 25 bucks . some people like the msi? must be a ok board to use if people suggest it. just 2 cents

Asus Hero and AsRock Fatality does have some style and a slight upper hand in performance. However, nontheless, MSI G65 is a very good board.

Some time ago I made a long post bringing all the reviews conclusion for that particular board into one page, here is what I posted in that particular page :

Why the GD65 is a good board.

It has got the best features and got all around good reviews on all over the Internet,

What Vortez Review says (link : http://www.vortez.net/articles_pages/msi_z87_gd65_gaming_review,16.html)

MSI have upped the ante with Z87-GD65 Gaming – other vendors ought to be worried. In its price-range GD65 Gaming should take the crown for visuals, features and performance. We are pleased to hand out our much coveted Gold award.

What Pureoverclock Concludes (link : http://www.pureoverclock.com/Review-detail/msi-z87a-gd65-gaming-motherboard-review/22/)

The Z87A-GD65 Gaming Edition can be found at a price point of $187.99 on Newegg.com. This is an outstanding price for a stellar performing motherboard. Because of the features, value and performance of the MSI Z87A-GD65 Gaming Edition motherboard, it earns top billing with our PureOverclock Editors Choice Award.

What Techreport Concludes (link : http://techreport.com/review/24945/msi-z87-gd65-gaming-motherboard-reviewed/9 )

Versus the other Haswell boards we've tested, the Z87-GD65 Gaming looks like a particularly good value. A lot of that is down to the $180 price tag, which is very affordable given the feature payload. The GD65 is a competitive all-around performer, too, and it appears to have solid overclocking potential. Add up all those attributes, and you have a good mid-range candidate for gamers, enthusiasts, and the substantial crossover between those two groups.

What TechPowerUp Concludes (link : http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/MSI/Z87-GD65_GAMING/15.html )

So there it is. The MSI Z87-GD65 GAMING board offers a bunch of features for the gaming enthusiast and some pretty decent memory overclocking, but it is by no means a top-tier "engineering showcase". What it does, it does very well, but at its core, the enthusiast's wallet was part of the design consideration. The new benefits offered by Intel's new Z87 chipset allow MSI to do all of that at a very affordable price, and it really appears as though no corners were cut in order to lock in that sub-$200 pricing. The esthetics provided by the MSI Z87-GD65 GAMING are simple yet so very complex, and that really highlights how I feel about this board right now. Its simplicity makes it easy to overlook, but deep at its core is more than ever before, as the Z87-GD65 GAMING offers more than I could have imagined, and it seems I am not the only one that noticed.

The MSI Z87-GD65 was recently given the "Best Choice Golden Award" by Computex. To quote our recent news article: "The Best Choice Award has always focused on Functionality, Innovation and Market Potential as the main judging guideline." I couldn't agree more.

What Overclock3D Concludes (link : http://www.overclock3d.net/reviews/cpu_mainboard/msi_z87_gd65_gaming_review/15 )

If you didn't know, or hadn't looked at the top of this review, then you'd expect a motherboard with such high-end performance and brilliant features would be akin to the £300 beasts of yore, so to find it at a frankly astonishing £157 is the final cherry on what is already the tastiest cake around. We can't find fault with it. Yes if we were really nit-picky we'd like to see a couple of extra USB ports on the back, largely because with phones and iPods etc we've got more USB devices than we have storage ones. But that would be akin to complaining after the finest meal you've ever eaten that you weren't overly fond of the mints that came with your coffee. Sure it's a niggle, but the rest of it is so brilliant we don't care.

MSI have laid the gauntlet down to all the other manufacturers. Gorgeous to look at, blistering performance and all at a very affordable price, the MSI Z87 GD65 Gaming is not only the new benchmark for Z87 motherboards, but probably for all motherboards.
