Keep the Gaming 5 and do the loop now, ROG is overpriced for what it is and you will get a just-as-good OC on the Gaming 5 as you will on a Hero.

DOn't get a H100i if you're going to do a loop, get a H220x or H240x and expand it.

I have a ROG board and basically this. You won't see any improvement as an upgrade.

Your first mistake was buying an MSI motherboard.

MSi boards are nice, it's their customer service that's shitty

How?

Notice MSI having to have their boards at much cheaper prices to try and get more marketshare?  There is a reason for that.  There are better options.  Asus, Gigabyte, ASRock ..

Too many ****ing games!  Back log 4 life! :S

ASRock is not crap.  Asus had wanted to buy back the company because they are doing so well putting out nice boards but ASRock said no thus far.

If you get a nice Swiftech all in one, you can eventually expand it due to their powerful pumps. Keep the G5, you may as well.

Better keep the MSI board, don't waste $100+ for an AIO unit, which won't be used a year later.

Over charge for it on Craigslist?

Just remember: Random people on the internet ALWAYS know more than professionals, when someone's lying, AND can predict the future.

Depends on your area.

 

Ebay would be a better option tho.

As a frequent seller, I've learned that you will not get close to retail. Your best bet is selling on forums or Amazon. I would say you probably will be able to get about $100 from it after fees and shipping on Amazon. 

My personal rig - 4790k 4.8Ghz, Asus Z97 Pro (wi-fi ac), Corsair Dominator Plat 4x8GB, SLI GTX 1080 TI FE, Samsung 850 Evo 1TB, Crucial MX100 512GB, EVGA G3 1000W, and cooled by a hardline liquid cooling loop.
