Is the GIGABYTE H110-S2H good?

[mourad1]

So I am thinking of getting the GIGABYTE H110-S2H motherboard. I can see that it is really cheap but my plan was to compromise in order to get a better graphics card. But before I do anything, I wanted to know whether it will function with no problems at all or should I start investing more into motherboards, since I dont understand motherboard specs I was hoping someone here would help.

Thanks

My computer
CPU: Intel Core i3-6100 3.7GHz Dual-Core Processor
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-H110M-A Micro ATX LGA1151 Motherboard
Memory: 8 GB DDR4 2133MHZ HYPERX XMP CL13 SAVAGE BL., 2X4GB
Storage: Dont know yet, would appreciate a recommendation
Video Card: SAPPHIRE NITRO R9 380 4GB (256) ACTIVE DH 2XMDP D5
Monitor: BenQ GW2765HT 60Hz 27.0" Monitor

Update: Its not like a better motherboard isnt in my budget, I can definitely afford it, just wondering whether its worth anything.. What do I gain from getting a better motherboard if this one could run everything with no problems

Cost for motherboards mainly relates to the features included on the boards. H110 chipset boards are stripped dowm, meaning they have fewer PCIe lanes, SATA and USB ports, don't support RAID, SLI, or overclocking, and limited RAM speeds. If you don't need any of these things, they are a good choice. Save your money for a better GPU or power supply.

Hey thanks for the response.
Would also appreciate if if you tell me what PCIe lanes, SATA, RAID and SLI are.
Your input would be very helpful.

PCIe lanes are what allows data to be transferred on the motherboard. You need so many for graphics, your SATA and USB ports, and other PCI devices. If you were using a very high powered graphics card or two or more graphics cards and a number of drives and PCI devices, you would need more than what this board could provide. RAID is for using two or more drives in a special storage configuration. SLI is used for multiple graphics cards. If you don't know what thee things are, chances are you're not going to need them.

So would I need more PCIe lanes in order to support my 1440p?
Excuse my terminology, I have no idea what I am talking about.

PCIe lanes don't mean much if you only have one graphics card. Also, the motherboard doesn't generally affect the performance of the computer. It's just that some have more features than others (which most people don't use anyways).

Make sure that your MB has enough rear panel USB ports for things like keyboard, mouse, printers, external hard drive docks, monitor, card readers, etc. You can add a USB hub to expand the ports, but the hubs don't always work as well as they should. The audio is also something that is frequently upgraded on the more expensive MB's. Here is a chart from Asus where you can see what's included on each MB:

Any of these SSD's would be excellent for storage:
