My budget is at around 1200€, i haven't made this at pcpartpicker, thats why it didnt include prices since i just put it together quickly.

I don't want to go over this budget by alot, sorry i shouldve included in the post.

What kind of motherboard should i get then, and why is MSI bad for motherboards?

Any good alternatives that are better ?
