I cant seem to find any reviews or any feedback on MSI 785GM-P45 MB.

http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0342512

I can get it from Microcenter for $10 after $40 discount and $20 MIR. I notice that its a "P" series, as in Professional Motherboard and not G (Gaming) or X(Extreme) or even E(Entertainment).

However, I am looking at the specs and they seem decent enough.

Will this MB work nicely with the following components for gaming, video, and internet?

MSI 785GM-P45
AMD X4 965
Corsair XMS3 4GB DDR3 1333
BFG 260 Maxcore
Kingston 64GB SSD
WD 640GB HDD
LCD with 1680x1050 resolution

Yes I have.

I am not looking for sli or crossfire, just one PCIe slot for my 260. So I am not in requirment of a fancy MB.

Also, my max gaming resoltuion will be 1680x1050.

I would go with 945 or 955 CPU but $40 off is only being offered with 965.

if you are planning on overclocking, you could step up to the 1055t

I am not planning on OCing. This build is for a relative for all around use and some medium gaming. There is no $40 combo discount with 1055t.

So if I am not mistaken the only difference between this board and other higer priced ones is OCing feature/connections/sli/xfire, correct? What else would I be losing by selecting this baard?

What exactly does MSI mean by "Professional" series?

If this MB will run with my existing components and play all current games smoothly at 1680x1050, then I think its a decent deal.
 
You are right. I didnt see that. So the MSI P45 MB with the X6 will be a good combo then?
