Has anyone any experience with this board? Is it good / bad / unnecessary / faulty model?

What does the blued highlighted sentence in the picture mean?


Do the LED lights on mainboards stays okay as long as the board is working? Or they go bad before that?

Spend a bit more and get this. 😛
You can cut back to the old case if you'd like, but you get much better build quality for that little bit more, and for a PC you're going to be sitting in front of, i'd like it to at least look nice. :)

Around 400$. Well, LED lights on the board looked very good, never had any rig with those, so was opting for LED system e.g. fans and board, not too fancy though [comparatively cheap one with necessary features]. Though I don't know if all the lights will really be fun for long.

I already bought WD HDD and a Seasonic S12II 620w PSU. Trying to adjust the rest.

How about GTX 1050 TI? The AMD will be a little over the budget

Performance before aesthetics, I will remember that :)
Okay, will go for 480 then; never thought ever would buy AMD GPU or CPU before.

Yeah, it is nice to have a decent looking PC though, hence why I recommended spending a bit more on the case. 😛
Just with all the people going "I want RGB everything", cost gets out of hand crazy fast, you can always go for a little bit of an aesthetic choice, like color or case provided budget allows for it, but never too far.
