Is this a good mobo?

[QuantumBit]

So after some searching I found a full white mobo that isn't $150+! Its the MSI B150M mortar artic. Will it work with this build https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Q2cmm8? 

 

Also I know its not ATX, but all the other ATX boards are either expensive, or don't match my color scheme. And they usually have mixed reviews but this one doesnt!

ASUS 1060 6GB Dual (OC) going to use 4x2GB of ram, but I might upgrade to 4x4 later on if I need it. CPU is i5 6500, going to use stock cooler and probably going to ask for a cryorig C7 for christmas. I'm going to use a 1TB HDD for main storage like pics, and a 120GB SSD for games and OS. Going to use a CXM 450W (or 550W) for the PSU.

so you require no usb ports at all. nor m.2 plus you only require one pci-e slot. No expansion necessary, plus no future proofness.

Just one port for a hdd and another for an ssd.

You wanna rock VGA monitor, or perhaps display port, you want one monitor or 2 or more.

Do you want onboard sound?

What about networking?

Do you want wifi.

I would not worry much. That motherboard is fine. For 1060 6gb, 450w of PSU is enough especially when you have i5 6500 so you can''t oc it anyway

I don't really know about these "VGA" monitors and stuff. For now I'm going to go with 1 monitor (Probably for a while) No idea about onboard sound or what it is.

 

For wifi I'm going to use one of those USB wifi adapters.

 

 

I'm sorry this is my first build.

VGA is old you don't need it and for gaming it sucks too

That mobo has sond, don't worry

Why not get a mobo with wifi or get a pcie wifi adapter, better than usb ones

Wifi ones are more expensive and I really like this MOBO I haven't been able to find any other white cheap ones.

 

My wifi is around 25-30 Mbps download I don't think I need something like that but I'm no expert.

these are the questions you need to ask.

I was being sarcastic to nudge you into thinking more, and doing more research.
