Similar board?

[Eddyyz]

Hey guys,

The store I usually order from is out of stock of the MSI B85-G43 Gaming.

Please could you guys link me to a equivalent board? (Within the same price range, and the same features).

Thanks
Eddyyz

Would be helpful if you told us what store you usually order from and if you'd mind buying it somewhere else..

 

[Eddyyz]

I buy from http://www.rebeltech.co.za/

They usually offer the best prices here, so I would prefer to try get it from them.

No idea how much that is... but if you are looking for a B85 mobo (i'd still get a z87 myself even if i was not oc'ing) ASRock Fatal1ty B85 Killer Motherboard http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00HCRNG82/?tag=pcp0f-21

Hmm had a quick look:

If you haven't bought a CPU yet and you really want a red MSI Gaming board, you could get the Z77 G45 version and get an Ivy Bridge CPU instead of Haswell:

Or you can go for the Gigabyte G1.Sniper B5, which has a green colour scheme, but it's socket 1150 and has mainly the same gaming-oriented features:

Edit; Nevermind, both sold out.
Might want to start looking for a different shop matey.

That's a decent board, but it doesn't have the 'Gaming' features like Killer Ethernet (which is pointless for most people) and slightly improved audio.

If you don't care about that, it'd be a good purchase

Just remember, you might want to wait for DDR4 mobos...

You will be waiting a long time then....

Maybe, but there were already demos at CES.

It's one thing to have demos and anuther to actually have DDR4 out and ready.
You may see server/commercial DDR4 in use by the end of the year desktop is going to be a little longer.

Haswell-EX server platform will use DDR4 and will be sometime at the end of the year/2015.
