MSI 970 Gaming Motherboard...Review please

[Dencity]

I was searching for a good motherboard from past 2 days which is good for both video production and gaming, Also which  has a good audio integration I came across MSI 970 Gaming motherboard which has Audio Boost 2 & Creative Sound Blaster Cinema 2, If any one here has used this motherboard please give me details about this. 

 

Am going to buy this rig if I get the appropriate reviews on motherboard

 

AMD FX 8350

MSI 970 Gaming Motherboard

Corsair Vengeance 1600mhz 16gb(kit)

WD 1tb Black

Corsair 500watts Power Supply

I have not decided a GPU yet.

 

 

Please help me here

Thank You .

its not a bad motherboard and it will also match your build. Also it will fit all your needs.

You'd be better off getting a 4690k +MSI Z97 PC Mate (for XFIRE)/Gigabyte Z97x SLI (for SLI) and a WD Blue/Seagate Barracuda + a 120/250gb ssd.

The audio playback and MIC recording on this motherboard will differ from other normal grade on-board audio right???

Yes, but unless you're using $1000+ gear you won't notice a difference -- okay, I may be exagerating a bit, but the point is unless you're an extreme audiophile that can hear the slight nuances between different high end headphones, then you won't be able to tell the "better" onboard audio on that board from something on a cheaper board.

And I would highly recommend you consider Intel as even a locked i5 will beat an FX9590 in gaming and a slightly overclocked 4690k will beat a 9590 in virtually everything excluding a few virtualization tasks.

Okay!!! Am in a bit confusion now...Okay I will put it straight the things I expect from Intel or AMD

 

1. Video production/3D Modelling/2d Animation(After effects 1080p)

 

2. Gaming 720p & Streaming 

 

Decent rig without GPU if you guys could help me under $800

Location? Does that $800 include OS/peripherals/monitor? Why isn't the gpu included in that $800? 

 

Also, quote or @djdwosk97 people so they know you responded to them.

Location-India 

$800 includes  monitor also ,I have OS and other peripherals, The reason am not including a GPU is because I have a entry level GPU AMD 7750, But will upgrade in future.

i5-4440 + Gigabyte GA-H81 + Seagate Barracuda (1tb) + Corsair CX600 + Antec VSK 4000B U3 + 16gb G. Skill Ripjaws X + 24" BenQ GL2460HM = 50,000~ INR ($800~) on ( http://www.theitdepot.com/ )

 

If you already have a monitor that you could use in the meantime, then you would be able to get a 4690k + MSI Z97 PC Mate

i'm sorry to say but for the things you are looking to do (Video production/3D Modelling/2d Animation(After effects 1080p) Gaming 720p & Streaming) an FX CPU was the way to go to achieve the best performance for cheap...as much as i don't recommend FX CPU's a lot for gamers these days if you happen to do other stuff than gaming the FX becomes better than a locked i5-4440 for example...i would suggest you get an FX-8320 (cheaper, same thing...overclock it yourself) an MSI 970 gaming motherboard and a cooler master hyper 212 CPU cooler and overclock the CPU a little...this will give you the best overall performance...the core i5 is better at playing games...but a 3ghz quad-core like that kinda fall flat in video rendering/content creation and streaming content etc.
