Motherboard choice.

[notthatgoodwithtech]

Hello everybody I just wanted to ask some questions about these two motherboards and any help is greatly appreciated.

 

I found two motherboards that I am interested in using but not sure which one is better. They are both rather budgety and to be honest I am just looking at which one is better in surviving longer/actually work.

 

My Choices are: 

Gigabyte GA-F2A88XM-HD3P    

MSI A68H PC Mate            

 

Thank you for any help in the answer and I hope you people have a nice Day.

 

 

I would link the product pages but for some reason I can only find them in polish, in my language.

It does have some information in english but not that much but the gigabyte page can be translated up in the right corner of the site to english. I tried to link the already translated one but it didn't work for some reason.

You shouldn't get the first, and there is no model named such as the secnod.

 

For FM2+ my go-to motherboards are the Asrock FM2A88X Pro3+ (the ATX one, the mATX one is bad)

and the Asrock A88M-G/3.1

 

The reason is, FM2+ CPUs can draw some amount of power, and having a heatsink over the power delivery area is important for FM2+ motherboards, if you're going to overclock an Athlon or A8/A10 CPU.

 

If you're not gonna overclock, about any one will do, but be mindful of that.

May I ask why the first one is bad? I don't plan to overclock my cpu but just out of curiosity what makes this board or one in general bad.
