Hello everyone, I have a dilema between two motherboard brands: MSI and PCChips. My question is which of them is better. I know they both are cheap, but I wanna have a good motherboard but not an expensive one. I heard that the pcchips motherboard doesn't have a long time of life and fail soon. Can you suggest me which of them to buy?

Given the two choices, go with MSI. There are plenty of others that are better though & depending on what you're looking for, they may not cost all that much more. Are you building an AMD system or Intel??

MSI Not cheap but rather inexpensive. I gave $70.00USD for the MSI MS-7008. It's great. Even has sata. A bit of advice, Stay with the major players. A strong warranty is as important as a good board.
I may be crazy, but I'm not stupid...

PCChips = lots of strange problems. MSI = OK, but you have to have good memory.
