This seems to be an excellent motherboard. It is solid and has plenty of room for expansion. So far everything works great and the software is great. BUT! IT DOES NOT HAVE WIFI OR BLUETOOTH which is one of the features that is included in this listing (as of August 22, 2014) and is one of the main reasons I purchased this board.
I noticed another reviewer had notified Amazon about this (false) listing over a month ago. Yet, this listing has not been corrected. Normally, I would have returned this item, but it is indeed, a great motherboard.
So if you need/want the built in WiFi/Bluetooth, I suggest looking further.
Back to the positive. Every other aspect of this board gets 5 STARS. This was my first computer build and it went very smoothly thanks to the design and it being well documented. The board itself is so well marked that it is basically self explanatory. Everything was installed and up & running in about 2 1/2 hours.

My build:
MSI ATX DDR3 2600 LGA 1150 MB Z97-G45
Intel Core i5-4690S LGA 1150 - BX80646154690S
Windows 7 HP 64bit
Samsung SSD 120GB 840EVO For Desktop PC
WD Blue 1TB SATA III WD10EZEX HD
ASUS GT-640 2GB DDR3 Graphics Card
Crucial Ballistix Sport 8GB Kit DDR3 1600MT/s (PC3-12800)
LG 12X Blu-ray M-Disc Combo Reader Drive UH12S30
Thermaltake V4 Black Ed VM30001W2Z
Corsair CX Series 600 ATX/EPS Modular PS 80Plus Bronze 552

I added an external WiFi adapter for now and everything works great... and FAST! (I am not a gamer! Just wanted a good fast computer with decent graphics.)

This is definitely a "5 star" motherboard. Too bad about the false advertising, That cost it a star.

This motherboard **DOES NOT** come with wireless AC, Bluetooth 4.0, or Intel WiDi as advertised by the manufacturer. Both MSi and Amazon have been notified and a ticket has been placed to change the specifications. Amazon did assist us with our purchase to make it right which we appreciated! This is a very nice motherboard!

Pros: Z97 Chipset
USB 3.0 Header (at a right angle in case you have a long graphics card like myself)
mSATA connector
Plenty of PCI-E ports
Tons of SATA ports

Cons: Overclocking is awkward (you have to press the + or - buttons to increase or decrease values rather than manually punching in values)
BIOS doesn't give full control over fans (it only allows down to 50% fan speed)
MSI autoupdate utility constantly wants to install Norton

Once you get everything set up the way you want it, this motherboard is great and very reliable.

Specs:
i7-4770k (overclocked to 4.4 GHz)
MSI Z97-G45
Corsair Vengeance 8GB DDR3 1600MHz
Samsung 240GB EVO SSD
Seagate 240GB SSD
Asus Nvidia 780 GTX
Cooler Master Cosmos SE

PLEASE BEWARE, DO NOT use MSI live update to update bios. MSI has had several problems with Live update bricking motherboards with a bad bios flash. If you Must update the bios please do some research online for flashing it from a usb drive, They also have problems with bios updates through the Mflash. I just bricked a board because of this and didn't find out about the problems they are having until it was too late. Honestly, stay away from the Live update program all together.

But as far as the board itself, Its an amazing board, for the whole 3 days i had it running. Paired with an SSD its blazing fast, overclocking setup is a bit tricky but nice. On board video is actually really good compared to most. I'm waiting on a new graphics card to arrive so I've been using the on board.

great motherboard. Works flawlessly. Loaded with 32 gigs of RAM using one terabyte raid and half a terabyte SD drive. I am sure this is complete overkill for me, since I'm only using it for business, spreadsheets, stuff like that. If this motherboard had a soul. It would be very unfulfilled. Maybe someday I'll play game on it and make it happy. In the meantime, the system I built is awesome. With 424 inch monitors and a Blu-ray burner. I have everything I want in every thing works well. May not be obsolete for a year or two. with the ANTECH case. I can hardly hear the thing working.

The hardware itself is pretty good, but the included software that comes with MSI products really adds the 5th star. MSI's software makes your life easy with the ability to monitor your hardware and overclock your system with ease. The firmware is easily updated with the MSI software as well, making sure you're always up to date. The BIOS is a very pretty easy to use GUI and gives you full control over your computer.

I am ready for anything now .. get ready cyberworld here I come!
This motherboard was very easy to install and came with good instructions and a scary poster.
The only part confusing I watched a demo of and it answered all my questions. I'd buy more from this company in a snap.
