how good is this motherboard or is it really worth really buying ?

I used this motherboard for my computer build, mostly because it had everything I needed and It was really cheap (i got it for about $120, i believe). Not to mention the fact that it has military grade parts, so you know it'll last a while. Now I don't know specifics on why some motherboards are better than others, but this one comes with a sound blaster audio chip (seems pretty good to me so far), and an easy overclock button in the bios screen. Not to mention the bios screen itself is very user friendly in its organization. So far I do not have any complaints with it and am happy. But do note, if you get a big graphics card, and intend to crossfire them, one of the GPU's might cover up your 3rd pci slot.

I highly recommend the MSI Z97 Gaming 7 board. For what it gives you, the price is unbeatable, and it's the best I've owned.

Yes, overclocks great;update BIOS version if possible,always best to have latest drivers.

both are good choices, they make up for with 4GB excellent times 4 4 4 2, if your motherboard supports 8GB, it would be better to take advantage to the fullest !!!

Get whatever's validated by Asus to use on the board. If you can afford 2400 and don't mind the marginal performance difference over 1600 (do you really need 2400?), then get 2400. I'm just fine with 1600 until I upgrade my system to a new socket and ddr4.

All of that is good. Except the RAM. Check asrocks website for compatible ram.

I thought it was fine. The general opinion these days is that better brands of motherboards use fine on board sound solutions. I say order it without and test if it's acceptable to you. It's easy to add on a sound card later if you don't plan on using the Pci-express slot fir a video card.

i think its ok. my computer is i7-3770K and 32gb ram. but i still suggest u 2 buy a better one, with 256-bits Memory Bus.

It is better, unless you specifically need to overclock. I get the feeling that the added threads are more useful than a couple ghz, but it depends on what you want to do, and how much price matters to you.

MSI has made some good motherboards for high end workstation chipsets for years. They may sell more outside the US, which explains why people haven't seen them much here. I have built several systems on MSI boards and I have no complaints.But that's also a limited statement. I haven't had to contact customer support so I have no idea how good it is or isn't. Their play on ultracompacts is somewhat risky with everything coming to market soon from all the big names. Let's see if beating the rush by a few months buys them some time.

I use this motherboard in several builds I have done. It is well made and the AMD A8-5600 is an excellent choice that provides a lot of "bang for the buck".

Personally, for what I got this for, 4GB is way more than enough (it's not a gaming PC, though it can handle games on low-to-medium graphic settings). Apparently though, the RAM is soldered onboard. So while I'm not sure whether the motherboard can handle upgrades, it's probably quite a job if it's possible.

yes its good for gaming, the k indicates that it can be overclocked, also it allows for pci express 3.0 connections for your graphics cardsMost motherboards work well with it, I've personally used two asus x79 boards and can recommend both, the sabertooth x79 and rampage 4 extreme

I think this is a good GPU, definitely can get something better, the Rampage is one of the best boards if seen, and great processor, but you might think about setting aside a little money for a second GPU as its not the best there is. I am about to get a second one to be able to run everything at higher settings.

The card Recivier without any problem, it is one of the best motherboards in the market. I recommend it to everyone, buy the seller is very responsible. :)

I've had absolutely no problems with this motherboard. I use it for streaming in 1080p for hours a day. Just make sure you install the drivers from the maker's website before use!For more video compression and audio editing, this thing is perfectly fine. Not exactly a powerhouse, but it doesn't stutter.
