Motherboards don't really affect performance. Go with whichever you can afford. The benefits of a higher end motherboard are features which might make it easier to overclock like more VRMS, but paying more could also add extra ports, RGB lighting, etc.

Tip to those that are new on LTT forum- quote a post so that the person you are quoting gets a notification, otherwise they'll have no idea that you did. You can also use a tag such as @Ryoutarou97 (replace my username with anyone's. You should get a dropdown after you type the "@")to send a notification, but quoting is preferable.

 

Feel free to PM me about absolutely anything be it tech, math, literature, etc. I'll try my best to help. I'm currently looking for a cheap used build for around $25 to set up as a home server if anyone is selling.

 

If you are a native speaker please use proper English if you can. Punctuation, capitalization, and spelling are as important to making your message readable as proper night theme formatting is.

 

My build is fully operational, but won't be posted until after I get a GPU in it and the case arted up.

Motherboards do not tend to do anything for gaming purposes, for overclocking yes. not for gaming. as all our other friends told us, more ports, rgb maybe, bla bla but not gaming performance increase
