Excellent save one detail
Pros: -Good price for performance -AMD Ryzen 3000 ready -Easy to upgrade from previous motherboard.
Cons: -ASMedia ASM1061 controller on first two SATA plugs.
Overall Review: Bought this to upgrade from my AM3+ socket to the AM4 and all the new features that brings. That being said, I'm no enthusiast by any means. However, when I got everything up and running I noticed that Windows took an extra minute or two to fully boot up. My previous build, that I upgraded from, took maybe 15 seconds from pressing the power button to loading up my first program. Perusing through the newegg reviews I found a most helpful review that suggested that the ASMedia ASM1061 controller that MSI put on the board was buggy and inefficient. When I initially hooked my SSD SATA in, I plugged it into SATA 1. Not 10 minutes ago, I switched it over to SATA 3 and now Windows boots up in under 10 seconds. TL;DR If you're hooking up any high performance components into the SATA plugs, use SATA 3-6 first.
Fine card
Pros: Good performance
Cons: None (except bad timing, dang scalpers and miners)
Overall Review: It's a fine card, it does everything I want it to (2K @144Hz). However, I bought it back when it was about 1.2K. As of now, it's 999.99. I don't know if it will go lower, but I would recommend getting it now. I'm still kicking myself.
Excellent CPU for price
Pros: Performance
Cons: Runs hot undet load
Overall Review: No issues so far. Using in a gaming pc at 2k 144hz resolutions. It does run hot under load though, about 75-80c, so I'll be ordering a cpu cooler soon.
Excellent.
Pros: -Excellent for upgrading to a mid range gaming PC, it will handle darn near everything at 1080p -Comes with pretty good heatsink and fan
Overall Review: I use this primarily for 1080p gaming and work, so, I'm not very familiar with OC. I will say though, for upgrading from the AM3+ socket with 8GB 1600 DDR3 to this with 16GB 3200 DDR4, I'm tearing through modern titles at max settings with over 100FPS.
Reliable.
Arrived on time and with no damage or missing parts. Well done.
