    Since you dont want to overclock, the non-OC version is $11 less.





    That motherboard disables USB3, ESATA, and all PCI-E 1x slots if you have a PCI-E 4x card in the second long PCI-E slot. If you need a second PCI-E 4x card for your computer it is probably best to wait until the MSI motherboards come into stock that allow for more PCI-E cards to be installed. If however you only need a single graphics card and maybe a PCI-E based sound card, this motherboard will do fine.

    It wont be released till June. June 9th I think it was...


    Thats why I recommended Intel 1155 socket right now, performance is better than current AM3 products and AM3 will be "obsolete" in 3 months. At least with the newest Intel socket you wont have an obsolete socket until November, when yet another new Intel socket will come out.
