So I've been wondering what motherboard I should get for my first build, but I need some help. My budget is $400. I would like for the motherboard to be good for gaming, 3D modeling, and video rendering. The other thing is that I would like it too have a good amount of io and I would like rgb lighting but it isn't necessary.sorry one more thing is that I would also like it to use intel processors . The format doesn't really matter for me because I'm building the computer around the motherboard.

Hell that's a lot for just a mobo. How much can you spend on the rest components? Look for X99 mobos idk.

I thought he was talking about the whole system for a second... :P Was wondering how the hell he was getting RGB mobo with that kind of budget.

Better dead than Red.
