Expensive motherboards?

[storecasper]

Hi! Im planning on building a new PC and im looking into motherboards. I was wondering if the more expensive motherboards are worth the money. The normal motherboards that have nothing special about them or the "gaming" motherboards for like 100$ more. The difference I can find is some more internal ports and a few extra usb slots. Is it worth putting the extra money into an expensive or semi-expensive motherboard?

as long a cheaper motherboard has the features you want and is from a good brand, then go for it. only get more expensive motherboard if you need the features.

Nope not worth it imo.

you're getting features you're probably not going to use just get a normal value board but that doesn't mean they're useless some motherboards like the Gigabyte SOC Force are designed for extreme overclocking and by extreme overclocking i don't mean with a h100i 

but with LN2.

What platform are we talking about?

 

Gaming mobo´s arent that more expensive if you ask me.

But there are also diffrent price tagged MS boards.

Gaming mobo´s offer some feutures towards gamers, but you dont nessaraly need a gaming mobo to game on offcourse.

Any MS mobo will game just as fine for that matter.

 

Cheap boards can be fine most of the times, but offcourse there are some awfull ones.

 

There are allot of people who claim that a mobo doesnt matter that much.

But i personaly disagree with that.

In my opinnion a decent mobo, is the base of a stable system.

Not always sometimes you get features and gimmicks you would never use.

horrible driver support and cost more than the cpu

and one of the worst bioses ever

You can easilly live with an h81 mobo, if it has all you need

most of the expensive motherbords are not worth it but if you want something crasy like dual  cpu suport and up to1tb ram go for a expensiv moterbord
