This motherboard is probably the best you will get if your trying to make a budget gaming build. I have purchased multiple of these motherboards and and it has everything needed to make a budget gaming experience feel like it is a 1,000$ pc. It only has 1 sata 3 which I run my OS through and the other sata 2 connectors does just good enough to run games off a ssd. It has a built in HDMI so if your not using a GPU then its still compatible with hooking to newer tvs/ monitors. It also has pcie 3.0 so If you do run a GPU then it def does the job. It is compatible with intel up to i7 3770 which is what I have in my build but even a cheap i7 2600 for a budget gaming build will do the job.

Has some features that are an upgrade from what I had. All of the existing hardware works just fine. The company was very easy to work with and honest in their dealings, shipping time was much better tha expected.

So far so good, it's a quality board, from a decent brand. I've had mixed results with Asus products, but this particular model seems pretty solid. There are no hiccups or random problems like I've had on previous boards. Just remember it's an older tech board, it's not going to work on the newest stuff. DDR3 RAM up to 1600. 3rd Gen Intel products such as the i5-3470 which is the CPU I'm using. Only six USB ports on the I/O area in the back but they can be easily supplemented by a PCIE card or the several USB headers on the board itself. I think there's a 3.0 header near the 24-pin PSU connector. So the tech is older, but it's solid tech and the board quality itself, based upon this one unit I have, is very reliable thus far.

This motherboard has USB3.0 and PCIe3.0 and is well suited for virtual reality gaming as well as ordinary 2D gaming. My custom build consists of intel core i5 3570 processor, GTX1060 video card, 16mb ram, and 750W power supply. A bit on the slow side as far as VR gaming is concerned but plenty good enough for me for all other games.

It's fast. Only problem is I can't get the front USB 2 ports to work. I haven't determined where the problem is. I have 2 front USB 3 ports that do work, so I'm ok with just using those
