Want to get a MSI Z97m mobo, only issue i see with it is it uses a Qualcomm Killer E2205 for its NIC. I've always used Intel NICs and never had an issue. Will the Killer E2205 work okay?

Qualcomm is a pretty big name to be honest and in my experience i have seen quite literally no difference between the intel and killer nics in terms of gaming, downloading, streaming etc. I doubt youll even notice a difference realistically speaking.

While the Killer won't be as fast as a nice Intel NIC, it's not noticeably far behind.  I use an Intel NIC instead of my onboard Killer NIC on my MSI Z87-GD65 because the Killer software caused BSOD's all the friggin' time for no reason.
