That is a good solid board for 1090T processor. Many many of them sold. Many in use here in the forum. A goodly number of people have experience with that M5A97 motherboard, if you should have trouble.
I do not trust MSI or Biostar. Too many have had issues. Asrock is okay but if it came to either an Asus or an Asrock mobo, IMO, I would buy the Asus everything else equal.
One of the reasons it is not confusing to many of us is that some of us spend hours everyday in these forums helping others. WE see the problems. We develop our understanding of what we see people have problems with and seeing as many as we do, we learn what to steer away from in an "overclocking" forum. That is it really.
If one was n0t ever going to overclock and was just going to install the cpu and boot up and run the board as is...well maybe one could get by with a board less well built.
EDIT:
This is an overclocking forum and most of our suggestions are based on what we see when overclocking boards. Our suggestions are based on boards that do overclock. That is why we steer clear of some brands/types.
END EDIT.
