I usually buy boards that can overclock but don't do it.  What I usually
look for once I get my CPU, memory and all installed, the selection for
optimized settings or something to that effect.  I've always found that
that setting works pretty darn well.  I had to tweak the IOMMU or
something setting but other than that, I let it detect the best
settings.  If I upgrade the BIOS, I repeat that on the first boot up. 
In my experience, it picks good safe settings that result in stable
systems. 

I've never had a MSI mobo, yet, so it may be called something different
but even Dell and Gateway usually have something similar to choose.  It
may be worth looking into .
