I have gone through several motherboards with Asus at this point and I give up. My current motherboard is giving me issues. I am willing to spend money on a new motherboard so I don't have to deal with Asus anymore. I own a Asus ROG Maximus Hero IV and all it has given me is problems. Two my USB ports don't work anymore and I ive been getting usb over current status often. This is the third time I have had that same issue with a different asus board. I need your advice to look for a good motherboard that is not asus and has at least 8 sata ports which I need seven of them for my hardrives and won't cost me an arm and leg. I am looking for the 160 to 190 dollar range. A solid board that has good reviews and will be easy to set up.
Here are my current specs
