14 DAY TRIAL // Gaming PCs cones come in all shapes and sizes if you know where to look for parts, and MSI just made it a bit easier to find a good motherboard for mini computers.
Behold the Z87I Gaming AC, featuring the LGA 1150 socket compatible with Intel's Haswell Core-series CPUs.
It boasts five SATA 6.0 Gbps ports, a PCI Express 3.0 x16 slot and a pair of DDR3 memory slots, plus 802.11ac WiFi support and 7.1-channel audio (with Audio Boost technology).
Even a Killer E2200 NIC Ethernet chip is included, to always prioritize online games when assigning bandwidth.
The only possible gripe is that the board won't do much good without a graphics card as short as it is wide. Fortunately, MSI has that covered, having launched the GTX 760 Gaming OC ITX, which I'll take a look at in a jiffy.
No price is known, since this is still just a Facebook teaser, for now.
