Mediocre deal. You can get a better case plus PSU for under $200, constantly.
These days the deals often comes in as CPU+MOBO+RAM bundles, so better wait for those to pop up again
If you were to go to Newegg or Amazon and add these items individually to your cart, it would come out to
Case: $110
Motherboard: $157
Powersupply: $90
Total: $357
So yeah, this combo deal would actually save $57 if you absolutely had to have this exact combo.
Pass for me on MSI...

IMO, it's not a bad deal. Like mentioned, it's a HYTE clone (which is good to me) tempered glass, 750w psu, and the mobo has wifi (6e) and 2.5Gbit lan. The downsides to me off the bat is that the case is limited to mATX boards (should you change out in the future) and the mobo's audio doesn't support 7.1 channels (if you plan on a big audio setup). If that doesn't bother you, then it's a good starting point.
7.1 audio for a PC wow lol. I have multiple simulators (Racing, Flight , shooting, and a golf ) and I only ever went 5.1 even for them. I run additional USB sound cards for Transducers but only 5.1 speaker systems. You can always add in a good sound card anyways if you wanted 7.1 sometime in the future. Does anyone run 7.1 on their PC? I guess I do on my entertainment PC in my living room but it HDMI outs to a reciever.

Lol, I mean, I use 5.1 for mine's myself. Just stating that the mobo doesn't have those extra channels for a big speaker setup. Also to be fair, I'm usually on my usb wireless headphones, and haven't used my speakers in months

I mainly use headphones for my primary gaming pc as well. I gotta have the mic to trash talk
Its power supply, case and motherboard. 3 items. Its not bad actually. Normally all 3 of those would easily be 400$
It's an okay deal, but three comparable items wouldn't be $400 even paying MSRP. You'd find it hard to get there with even these MSI items; the Mobo and the PSU itself total $200 at MSRP, and the case should realistically be in the $50-60 range considering there are clones of it that can be had for $40-50 off Amazon.
This is a deal, but it *is* odd it's on the front page. Bargain hunting a PSU, case, and mobo+CPU would net you a better deal without doing all that much research.
This is a $140-150 board atm. $15 more would get you a pg riptide. If you want atx, $5 more than this gets you a livemixer @ $150. Several PSU deals going on. The case is just any case you could get for $30-60.
Still, it isn't bad... I just really have lost faith in msi for anything other than their more premium stuff.

Saying there's "better deal" and not providing a link to a "better deal" is not a valid statement.
