I am planning to buy a motherboard which is a gaming entry level only cause I am not aiming for the high end and more features and slots for my mobo, I just need a decent gaming motherboard that can support my socket of my processor. Can anyone suggest what is the good motherboard for my upgrade? thanks :)

Hahaha you have already said it, because I want 8GB running at dual channel so I can take advantage to use each bandwidths on  those sticks for better performance and all around work. But I think there are more process than I expected to upgrade the mobo since it has different chipsets that supports varieties of processors.

If you want more performance, upgrade your CPU. Dual Channel won't give you much more performance. Hell, it won't even be noticeable.

Main PC: R7 3700X / Gigabyte X570 I Aorus Pro Wifi / Radeon RX 5700 XT / 32GB DDR4-3200 / 250GB & 2TB Crucial MX500 (in HP Prodesk 400 Case)

Laptop: R5 2500U / Radeon Vega 8 / 8GB DDR4-2400 / 500GB SK Hynix BC501 (HP Envy x360 13)

My little Server: i7-7700 / Asrock H110M-ITX / 24GB DDR4-2400 / Samsung 860 Pro 250GB & Seagate Firecuda 2TB / VMware ESXi 6.7

(Don't tell me i should Name them, i don't want to ^^)
