So there you have it, MSI's Next-Gen GAMING 5. I am currently testing this product fully and will have more details to share soon. With limits in place on what I can tell you about this product, there is not too much more for me to say right now, other than that what I see in its physical design is rather exciting to me as a gamer. I will cover what the rest of the board has to offer in the coming weeks – both in software and through performance figures. There is actually a whole lot more I would like to say at this point, and having to save it all for another day is not exactly sitting right with me, but what can I do?

MSI's GAMING line-up has been one of my personal favorites in the past, and I was not the only one. The past MSI Z87-GD65 has won many accolades, including "Best of Show" from Computex 2013. The new Next-Gen GAMING 5 is by and far a better, solidified version of that past MSI Z87-GD65 board, with any of the issues I had tweaked and twisted in such a way that I have to wonder why anyone would want anything else from a Next-Gen motherboard. Meanwhile, there are other MSI products that are coming that have been updated too, so make sure to also stay tuned for my coverage of those products!
