Okay so I found three motherboards suit my Budget which is

 

ASrock B40m Steel legend 115$ or IDR 1.550.000

Asrock B40 pro4  96$ or IDR 1.340.000

Asrock x370 pro4  72$ or IDR 1.000.0000

 

i only know about their capabilities of slot. but i dont know about quality. and for those who might refer to B450 Steel legend , i cant afford it.

so which one is better?

Grab the Asrock x370.. This is a easy one.  Unless you feel like wasting money then get a B40 pro4 board.

Well there will be slight differences between a B40 and a X370.  Nothing I can think of right now to mention tho.  Also B40 might have more PCIe x16 slots and other minor differences.  Save your money as long as you got the right CPU no worries.  Also you can overclock just fine.  As for protection, Asrock either one is fine.  The 370 is simply the best bang for your buck.  The mobo is important part of the rig next to a PSU.  Screw saying some extra dollarsa and go with the best bang like I said,, lol
