Obviously, it's an entry level/budget motherboard and as a result, won't have many features (I don't think it has RAID support). But what are you planning on using it for?

If you're not going with a K/X series processor and not going SLI/Crossfire, you would probably be fine.

 

Intel says otherwise about the RAID: http://ark.intel.com/products/90592/Intel-GL82B150-PCH

It also has multi graphics card support .

 

It has "crossfire" support. Not nvidia (so my bad about not having crossfire support). It has multi-graphics support but not for nvidia.

What it doesn't do:

Overclock CPU or RAM

SLI (can only do crossfire, you have to pay more to get SLI)

NVMe

Thunderbolt 3

USB 3.1 Gen 2

We have a NEW and GLORIOUSER-ER-ER PSU Tier List Now. (dammit @LukeSavenije stop coming up with new ones)

You can check out the old one that gave joy to so many across the land here

 

Computer having a hard time powering on? Troubleshoot it with this guide. (Currently looking for suggestions to update it into the context of <current year> and make it its own thread)

What is your budget/CPU/Graphics? You gotta tell us more about your build for us to make an educated suggestion.

The board has every feature you'd likely need given its positioning.

But, as others have said, we'd need to know more about your overall build.

Eh, you're likely to reach a bottleneck with the drive itself before you saturate USB 3.0 for an external drive.

It's not actually that useful and chances of you noticing the difference between that and 3.1 are slim.

There are also very few things using Gen 2.

Worth pointing out the first one has subpar audio outs. Matters with some headsets.
