MSI is notorious for catching on fire because of shitty cooling on the VRM's
I'd go Asrock if that was the only choice. The kings of the motherboard world is Asus (I won't use them because of quality issues) and Gigabyte.
The MSI representative on overclock.net was removed from status because of their reputation for handling customers over the fires that were starting on their MBs.
However, this was an overclocking related thing. If you don't OC, don't worry about it.

I hate Asus for the same reason. RMA after RMA. When you get a working board, they're fucking awesome. That's if you can get a working board. Some people have luck and never have to RMA. I had to RMA every board I ever got from them.
I know NOTHING about Asrock except 2 people I know had them and had issues. I've built 8 computers in the last 4 years all using Gigabyte and not a single one has had a hiccup. Again this is IMO that Gigabyte is the shit. Other people may have better experiences with someone else.
Whatever you get for a motherboard. MAKE SURE the VRM's have a heatsink on them. I would honestly put MSI out of the question. Here's some MSI carnage within a year. Each motherboard a different person. There's a ton more but I don't feel like getting all of them
Samsung start putting memory out recently. Someone got a hold of them just for giggles and found out how they OC. Now stores are having issues keeping them in stock. They were out for months recently because everyone was buying the up like an apocalypse was coming up

Very nice  I set that H100 up in a client's build before. It's a niice little guy. I would recommend getting different fans though, the ones that come with it are noisy as fuck. I use Noctua P12's on mine. They push a ton of air and you can't hear them at all.

I actually have those 2 noctua fans for my push-pull setup for my current corsair H50, so I will use them for the H100

I haz my modest ASRock M3A770DE, which was the best money for performance mobo I could find 2 yrs ago
And it's solid. I didn't do any OC'ing on it, but for what I'm using it it does the job
