I3-21xx is a solid valued CPU.... I'm using a 2120 right now as I wait for Ivy Bridge and it has surprised the hell out of me. I wasn't expecting it to perform as well as it does.
X10... The first time I ever went with MSI I regretted it. It was the first board I had die on me after being a loyal Asus fan for many years.
They may be better now. But being out of my primary gaming for a month rig due to a bad motherboard left a bad taste in my mouth. It was also the...
