So I am looking to upgrade to a new motherboard and I am fully aware that things will have to be taken apart/re-pasted, etc.. once I get one.

I don’t have a specific budget(maybe $300 or under) - I’m just looking to get rid of the $77 ASRock that I currently have as it doesn’t even give me Wi-Fi capabilities…

Any recommendations are really appreciated!
