Suggest a better Mobo

[Danoga]

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2vLDw So after i already ordered my mobo i learned its not a great one. Will it still get the job done? or am i better off getting a RMA for my current mobo and picking out a better mobo?

Personally. I wouldnt buy from BIOSTAR. but thats me, hopefully someone can answer your question!

You should've gotten the Z87X version not the Z87W. http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/z87-express-motherboard-review,3582.html

Take a look of those motherboards in the review.

within the same price range

Asrock z87 pro4

ASRock Z87 PRO3

AsRock Fatal1ty b85 killer



I bought one biostar mobo for a budget build, NEVER AGIAN. was doa due to a bad sata controller, and the bios had spelling errors. I figure if they don't take the time to spell check, how much effort went into the design and testing.

Thanks for the feedback =) but the pricerange just went up to 300 bucks

So the new 300 bucks budget on the mobo and if it matters my PSU is 650 watt

Man id be afraid to try Asrock. Keep reading reviews about how their quality control is bad for their boards, and they like to install bloatware

 

[the great randini]

the discs have tons of bloat ware on it, as do many of the manufacturers discs, you don't have to install it. I have been running AsRock p67 Fatal1ty pro for years and would highly recommend it!

I'd be worried about using a rosewill case though =)

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813132039 would something like this work or no

 

[the great randini]

no =(

the case you bought supports (Micro ATX / ATX) mobos that is a mini itx

 

[Danoga]

ah ok but im looking for a good asus mobo http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131989&clickid=WY91wTX8CweXQ96VDLQO8Ta%3AUkT1-FQvNzdh0I0&iradid=97618&ircid=2106&irpid=79301&nm_mc=AFC-IR&cm_mmc=AFC-IR-_-na-_-na-_-na
is one that caught my fancy also the Sabertooth looks good aswell.


And what is wrong with Rosewill cases?

 

[the great randini]

I love asus products, I always bought them for myself until my last purchase, they have gotten really cheap with the lack of heat sinks on the mobo so I have shied away from them, but [url=http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813132038]this one looks nice , but comes out 2-16

 

[Danoga]

what is a good mobo brand that i should go for then? thats out now?

 

[Danoga]

http://pcpartpicker.com/parts/partlist/ so for now im going with the sabertooth unless someone can suggest a better mobo
