Review: Perfect MB for a mid-range gaming system. - We purchased this motherboard for my son's Steam/Stream box. The included XSplit Gamecaster software was perfect for him to figure out and use to start streaming. The only thing I wish it had was integrated wi-fi, but there is enough expansion capability to allow for anything from a usb dongle to a wireless network adapter. This is his current setup: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/s6QnvK The BIOS configuration tool is simple and easy to use. I have become accustomed to MSI's Live Update and Command Center applications. I have found them reliable and easy to use. 5/5 would buy again.

And i can not return it because the "window" has been closed. I payed a good amount for this and i did not even get over a months use out of it... very upsetting

*by M***S on February 26, 2015*

I had to get two of these mother boards the fist one short circuited and I thought I would just get a new one so I got a new one sent to me but when I plugged everything in a blue bug light was flashing so I do t know what's wrong with it they said online to update the bios but I can't update the bios with a computer that won't even turn on so I had to put my old mother board in with my old processor till I get my money refunded but the moral of the story is get another mother board if you have a Intel core i5 4690
