Cons: None really other than I think including the motherboard standoffs would be awesome.

Pros: Looks great in the case, OC Genie in the BIOS, MSI Fast Boot, Overclocking is easy
Comment:
Looks great in the case, the cover on the chip set looks awesome. It came with a cool MSI case badge. OC Genie in the BIOS helps for overclocking newbies. MSI Fast Boot brought my BIOS time down to 6.5 sec. Overclocking is easy with all of the info in the BIOS and you can actively monitor CPU and system temps.

Cons: None so far

Pros: Looks great, certain parts of Motherboard light up red. Has enough ports to get you by for the price. Does what a MOBO should do.
Comment:
MOBO works great with FX chips. Recommended if you can get on sale too, can drop  under $100
