What boards do you have in mind? Are you looking at an older 790 chipset or a newer 870/890? A couple links would be helpful so we can see exactly what you're looking for.
I own two MSI boards. The BIOS for my 790FX-GD70 has so many features and tweaks that it's crazy, whereas the BIOS for my older 690G model is way more limited.
Neither of the MSI boards have ever had defects; both booted up immediately, the 790FX model handling my gaming, etc, and the 690G model doing hard time as a home-theatre PC. Both are rock solid.
Pros of MSI are that their boards are often a bit cheaper than the competition from Asus or Gigabyte. However, the reason they are generally cheaper is because they have fewer features, and MSI's support is not as good as Asus' or Gigabyte's.

-AMD 800 series
-I dont think ill be over clocking
-I want to be able to have moderate amount of BIOS tweaks and settings I can change
-Preferred a FX chipset series
-Dont need more than 2 PCI-E 2.0 x16
-Stay below 200 dollars
-Support phenom II x4
-Support DDR3 Ram
-If possible USB3
Thats All I can think up at moment, I dont have many in mind right now until I narrow down my search, SO far Im using newegg and tiger direct to shop

also to add its gonna be socket AM3
and I heard the GX series only differences from the FX by having dual onbaord graphics and 2 PCI-E 2.0 x16 Slots whiles FX has 4 And up, I dont need 4, except I read by peopel They seem to say the FX are alot stable and faster then GX but while FX has so many PCI-E 2.0 x16 slots they barly have one of none of the others like a normal pci slot
