Pros: Good features at reasonable price point. We built two gaming computers using these with 8th gen Intel i7-8700, Old EVGA 1070, and Corsair Vengeance memory. We are running 2666 and 3000 (The 2666 was from older PC) . Run's everything we play at 2560x1400 with great frame rates (Rocket League, Realm Royal, Apex Legends). We have similar old MSI Z370 with a 2070 in it that we use for VR that has been working great for years, so we are sticking with MSI for now.
Cons: Wish the BIOS allowed you to turn off the m2 slots. This would allow for a hardware multi-boot scenario. No manufactures are doing this though, so I can't blame MSI. Windows 10 install does not install drivers for the Network Card and network will not work during setup. You have to download the drivers onto a USB from another PC and then install them to get network. The Intel NIC Drivers are huge for some reason, but once they are installed who cares right.
Overall Review: I should probably check for BIOS updates and update them, but they are working great.
