Memory good, everything else looks good, still say you're paying to much for the mobo
but it does look good.-

What would you recommend for R800 - R1000 that's better?

The thing is I need the WiFi otherwise will need to pay separately for it, and I see the vrms is good on this M/B and the alc1220 is a bonus.Memory good, everything else looks good, still say you're paying to much for the mobo

Just the looks I dont like, that's all.
For great cooling/airflow but it will be out of budget,

Phanteks Eclipse P300 B&W also looks good but don't see it with woot.
Yes, they can be finicky so better be on the safe side.
Have you had experience with XPG (ADATA) RAM? Mustek for some reason marries that to their ASUS AM4 mobo's. I was even reccomended a "watercooled" kit..... looking at the Linus TT vid it does absolutely nothing to actually cool the RAM though.

Built the Phenom Triple Core into a nice case. The old NCR case was rusting and not a good fit. Funny thing, the I/O shield makes a huge improvement in terms of the wifi connection. I can now RD to it without it dropping out all the time. Guess it really shields some I/O 
Future plans for this includes upgrading it to a hexa core - soon as the CPU arrives from Aliexpress.

Nope.
Motherboard and Case arrived but... 
Have already emailed to Wootware to sort out.
What's weird to me is the foam part covers the part that is dented so must have happened at factory or someone returned it like that and I got it.
The box was also "bent in" on the side panel side so luckily if it wasn't for that I wouldn't have opened as I'm only building the PC when new Ryzen comes out. I only opened to check that glass panel wasn't cracked where box was damaged - saw it wasnt but decided to take off plastic and check everything then I saw it.

I immediately called them and then emailed thru pics so waitng to hear back.
I'm just so happy I decided to check it as I'm only building PC next month when new Ryzen comes out so plan was to just leave it packed away until then.

Cool. Yeah I left my case till I got all the parts. Should've checked luckily it was okay.

That some bad luck sorry to see that.
Pretty sure they will sort you out, been dealing with them and finalizing my order. But they have been super helpful, just hope this does not happen to me as I am in JHB and wont be easy to sort out.
What case did you end up buying ?

Have anyone here use the Flashback+ feature before?
If so they say you can flash the bios without any CPU and other stuff connected. But say I build the PC complete with all attached and unsupported CPU inserted will it still be able to flash the bios with the Flashback+ option? Would I need to remove the unsupported processor before flashing?

You can flash it with or without a cpu. It will even allow you to flash a corrupted bios.
The above applies to msi, not all manufacturers implement it the same way.
Yeah pretty sucky but they are collecting on Tuesday - not sure when I will get the replacement tho.
Luckily I wasn't waiting for the case to build new PC as that would have upset me.
Went with the Lian Li PC-O11 Dynamic Black.
