What Motherboard Should I Get?

[Miles Z]

Hi everybody, I am doing my first build, and have ran into some problems. My motherboard is a complete dud, and I need a replacement. As you can probably tell from the title, I need some help finding a good mobo. Every motherboard on Newegg has a series of reviews saying "the graphics don't work" or "RMA'd twice and still doesn't work." I pretty intimidated by these reviews, making the decision pretty difficult. The parts I am using are the AMD Athlon X4 760K (CPU), an MSI R9 280 (GPU), and a Corsair CX600M (PSU). Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

if its your first build how do you know the motherboard is dud?

its just as likely you may be doing something wrong

Every product is going to receive a complaint occasionally. It's the ratio between sales and RMA's that matter. It's ridiculous to give a product 1 star because a consumer received a product DOA--you can not rate a product that does not work.
