MSI, in my opinion, make great motherboards.

This is cheaper and with better components. Also, 8GB of RAM is more than enough.

He stated that he is currently gaming on a laptop, so I don;t think so.

Maybe.. you know.. he had one tucked away in the attic. 😛 Missed that, mb.

Or he could build it into a potato and call it Tom 😛 😀
