Massively expensive, for that price you could buy an i5 4690k and a Z97 board so there isn't really any point getting it.
It also only has the same VRM as the MSI, nothing gained for $50.
On the other hand, Gigabyte have the UD3 990FXA, which has 8+2 power phase, and is the best board for AM3+ (for the price, and it's pretty much the best full stop), it's superb in every way. Gigabyte's bios is better than MSI's generally, however the UD3 might have an older version which is more on par with MSI's. They're both fine to use though.

$700 is a bit tight for some of the newer games, this is the best i could come up with that fits reasonably close to that.
AMD FX-8350
Corsair H75
Gigabyte AM3+ 990FX
corsair vengence pro 2x4
MSI radeon rx470
corsair r500
EVGA 500w
i would recommend you wait a month or so in case the price of AM3+ stuff drops due to the ryzen being released, if that happens you might be able to afford an rx480
The one I'm looking at right now, but I want your opinion on it.
