Looks like a good cheap option with a decent spec. If you don't want to overclock it should be a good choice. However looking at the cpu vrm layout I'd guess it has the same 10 phase spec as the Z170 gaming pro so if Intel released a Skylake version of the Pentium G3258 and of course an appropriate bios, some budget overclocking would be interesting. Just my opinion.

I like it. Nice to see them coming up with some "gaming" motherboards that dont cost an arm and a leg. MSI seemed to lead the way with their Gaming boards that were very reasonably priced but very capable and solid. Hope this trend continues.

Having owned an MSI B85 G43 Gaming (and still do, it's kicking around in the house somewere) I do like these loaded up budget boards. The others look like they're DDR4 (MSI B150, B170 and ASUS H170) but the ASUS B150 looks like its DDR3/DDR3L.
