For the most part I have been looking at the MSI z97 Gaming 9 AC mobo but I have seen so many complaints in the reviews that I am starting to get worried about purchasing it. If I were to go after a different Z97 board, what would be recommended between the price range of $200 to $300. Or if you think I should just stay with the current one I am looking at, let me know.
