Good economy motherboard
This MB came as a barebones system. The MB worked fine when finally assembled. No major hitches. The documentation and manual are non-existent, but the experienced builder should have no trouble getting it running. The bios setup is not conventional and one has to make guesses as to many of the setup features to be checked off. Otherwise, for the price, it is OK for an inexpensive board. However, a beginner may have problems because of the dearth of step-by-step instructions.

Video card problems
Overall the boad is great, but the positioning of the video card slot vs the sata ports prooved to be cumbersome at best. Had to get a different card to avoid problems with connecting sata cables.

Fine for the price
The only reservation on the board is that the MicroATX form factor did not easily accomodate a contemporary medium-end GPU. The length of the GPU overlapped the SATA connectors on the board, making assembly difficult. Otherwise, a fine board.

Good for low end build
I bought this board as a combo with the AMD A6-5400K APU. At the price it is the base for a very good low end system. Everything was easy to install and get set up and working. Good tech support from both MSI and AMD. No complaints really.

Works Great - Some Tips
Don't forget to get a SATA DVD drive like I did! Also a VGA Monitor cable may be helpful if you want to skip a video card. I might get one later.

Great Budget PC
Runs great for a budget PC. Got this as a bare bones package for under $300. With AMD A6 5400K cpu, case, and 8GB ram Do wish MSI mobo or Thermaltake Case manuals provided better instructions on how to screw mobo to the case. Used the wrong type of screw causing it to not power up. Need to place a brass screw extension between case and mobo before screwing it down to keep it from touching the case. Plugging a PSU 8 port plugged into the CPU 4 port plug doesn't seem to cause any issues.
