How do the current MSI Z87 Mobos stack up to the competition?

Hi all,

What is the general consensus on the current MSI Z87 Motherboards, as the last few rounds of boards didn't seem to be that great?

How are they for stability, build quality and longevity etc..?

They are ok but im a big Gigabyte fan for the Z87, they seem to have made an excellent range of boards.

Not really been excited about MSI Z87 motherboards, the Killer NIC is not as good for gaming as the Intel i217V provided on the Gigabyte, Asus boards if you take the following clip as gospel.

Thanks chaps, will have a full look into it. I do prefer Gigabyte boards just not sure which to get, would love the new Z87 UD7 but its likely to hit around £450! Ouch!

the orange oc board is a good gigabyte board,the ud4 isn't bad either,aswell as the g1 sniper (if you like green)

if you were to go asus id pick the gene or the hero
