I bought this as part of an Intel build to update from my aging PC. Everything was extremely intuitively placed and happened to pair extremely well with my Corsair 5000D case. I would highly recommend this motherboard as it served all my connectivity needs and onboard WiFi was a must for me.

Great value for what it can do/hold. Highly recommended as a budget motherboard for your more expensive parts.

My motherbord came defective and i had to spend 2 weeks troubleshooting until i finally found out.

I am well aware that the MSI MAG Z790 Tomahawk DDR5 motherboard has significant issues. I think MSI cut back on quality and assurance for this model of motherboards. The first one I received was DOA. One bent pin. Straightened and it did not boot up. I flashed the BIOS and it would not flash. Thank you for Best Buy's awesome return policy and being within the generous return window, I was able to have it replaced. The replacement is working as intended. Almost two months now and it is running very well. I play videogames and I use my PC as a workstation as well. Fortunately, no issues for me so far. I am both lucky and unlucky. But that is the case when it comes to building PCs. I love the stealth black design and colors. It is by far my favorite motherboard in terms of aesthetics. Very few companies make motherboards that have a simple, sleek, stealthy design. They are all filled with RGB lighting and bloated features. The MAG Z790 has plenty of features and functionalities that meet my needs and then some. Plenty of space between hardware slots. I have two sticks of RAM, a Noctua Chromax Black heatsink with one fan, a PCI-e dedicated soundcard and a Asus TUF RTX 4070 Ti GPU that is larger than most standard size graphics cards. Yet everything fits well with enough room in between components and parts. Overall, I have very satisfied. I am both unlucky and lucky. First purchase was DOA, but the replacement is working as intended without issues, so far. I am very happy with Best Buy's customer service. They take great care of their customers and honor their policies. I highly recommend being a Total Tech member if you are not savvy with computer building. They have Geek Squad that will help with troubleshooting your PC. I think this motherboard gets a bad reputation, and probably rightfully so. But when it works, it's a fantastic motherboard.

Met all my demands and needs. Handles everything i need and then some. Would recommend to anyone looking to upgrade from their current platform.
