Two more months separate us from the launch of Intel’s Ivy Bridge processors, so motherboard makers are already hard at work preparing their new solutions based on Intel’s 7-series chipsets.

MSI is of course among them, and just now is putting the final touches on the Z77A-GD45, which will become one of the most budget-friendly Ivy Bridge motherboards in the company’s arsenal.

Specs wise, the GD45 will include all the MSI features that we have grown accustomed to, such as Military Class III components, OC Genie II and ClickBIOS II, to name just a few.

Sadly, this is all that we can tell right now judging from the picture provided by eTeknix, but more info should be available soon.

Until that happens, you can check out the GD45’s older brother, the Z77A-GD65, which has already been pictured in full.
