Question Does this bundle have a decent motherboard?

[chris96993]

Hey I'm building a pc but arn't very technical. Microcenter has bundles that will save you over $100, so that's where I planned on getting CPU / RAM / MB (https://www.microcenter.com/site/content/bundle-and-save.aspx)

I just don't know if an MB is something you want to spend more on, or if there's will be just fine for gaming. Here is my planned setup, but PLEASE let me know if you would change anything (the GPU I already had for about 6 years now): https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/Hg3n74

I also need to grab a case and PSU but I shouldn't struggle too much with that

Thx

Last I checked, Microcenter doesn't have any operation running in UK at this moment of time. I say that since your extension/URL/drop down menu for PCPartPicker is for UK.

You asked a very similar question here;

Question - Is it better to buy a CPU / MB / RAM bundle or just CPU

Here is the current setup: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/VkMwh7 My game is pretty choppy, I only really play fortnite and try to maximize FPS and turn all graphics on low. I was also thinking it's time to upgrade ram and a cpu. Microcenter has decent looking bundles with cpu ram and mb that...

That being said, what sort of features are you looking for in your motherboard purchase? Your PCPP listing seems fine.

Your motherboard choice seems solid.

The only thing I would change is buing faster ram for the same price (or in this case cheaper): https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/YCF9GJ
Make sure you enable EXPO in the bios to get the advertised ram speeds.

Oh I live near one in the US but thanks for the concern.


As long as the bundled one is good I should be fine, I heard they sometimes try to bundle MBs that give people problems or arnt popular so that they can sell, was wondering if anything sticks out about that one tbh
