MSI Mobo - Good or Bad??

[King Akash]

Hi

Is MSI Z77Z-G45 a good motherboard?? I mean is it reliable or will it be causing problems?? Is MSI even a good brand?
What could be another possible choice for the same price?

Also what is the best motherboard brand (for gaming) according to you?

Thanks.

Any component can fail. Think 1-3% http://www.behardware.com/articles/881-2/components-returns-rates-7.html
ASUS and Gigabyte are the big players. I have had no problem with MSI, ASROCK, or ECS either.
For gaming, Any Z77 based motherboard will perform about the same as any other, assuming each had the same cpu.

I assume you are asking about the Z77A-G45. Yes that is a good motherboard, MSI is considered one of the better brands of mobo makers along with ASUS, ASRock and Gigabyte (although I have had bad experience with Gigabyte). In all honesty the mobos do not make a difference for gaming, it matters what your needs are such as socket type, how many PCIe 3.0 slots you need, stuff like that.
