Good motherboard?

Go to solution Solved by paprikman,

hi guys.

i'm going to build a pc soon (finally)

And i need a good motherboard.

i am currently on my laptop and i need at least 4 usb ports, my laptop only has 3 so i cannot plug in my keyboard, because my usb headset, mouse and microphone are in the way (Headset is going to be replaced with sennheiser ones.) But i need to find the right motherboard, I have the pentium g3258 cpu (1150 socket) and my budget is 60/80 euros

I would recommend asus h81-plus or H97-plus for such money, but u'd better also listen to the other's mentions.

Don't worry about usb ports: u can always extend them, and usually there are at least 4-6 of them on any modern mobo.

There are lots of different 'usb hubs' in tech stores, they are cheap.

Looks like that:

Also your pc case can have front panel usb ports (i.e. my R4 has 4 usb ports in front).

Yeah, but my case is just some old case from my dad without any usb ports in the front xD

but thank you, I think i'm choosing the h81-plus. Thank you
