Cons of getting lowest tier Mother Boards?

[kygregkim]

Hi,

I am building a new rig comprising of i5-9600K CPU with ASUS PRIME Z390M-Plus

The Z390M-Plus seems like it is the cheapest range of the Asus line-up and just Z390-P above it, only marginally.

I am not planning on OC, and just need a build that will last 5~6 years+ and I am concerned if the lowest range typically has known issues regarding reliability of sorts. Would it be worth getting that little step up and changing to Z390-P??

Look for TUF = 60 months warranty.

Thanks for the reply. TUF models are a bit pricey in retail around me. It is not a fancy build so I was hoping to use entry level MB and wanted to know if anyone has experience with these entry-level MB if I should avoid them.
