The MSI B360 Gaming Plus is poised to be an affordable motherboard packed with features. The color-scheme of the motherboard is black with an aggressive zig-zag line pattern in red. Utilizing the B360 chipset allows MSI to avoid the complications and additional costs of the Z370 chipset while packing in a lot of goodies most people want and expect on socket LGA 1151! The B360 chipset does not support overclocking, and the memory speeds are capped at a maximum of DDR4-2666. The lack of overclocking features means that the system is simpler – it will be easier to get a gaming rig up and running stable and fast!

The MSI B360 Gaming Plus has many of the features most would expect from modern motherboards: four memory slots, two PCI-Express x16 Gen 3.0 and four x1 slots, an M.2 slot and five SATA III ports, and four USB 3.1 ports on the rear panel. Processor support goes all the way up to the stout Intel i7-8700K! Sadly even K-series overclocking isn't supported here, though as mentioned earlier this chipset is not intended for that purpose anyway.
