Hey guys,

i know that this question was asked numerous of times and i am sorry about that but i didn't find the answer which would please me :)

Which motherboard would be good for this CPU? I don't want to buy the best motherboard because it costs too much. I don't need RGB motherboard and that stuff. I just want motherboard that is overall good and easy to use (bios, OC-ing potential etc.) and that is not ridiculously expensive.

I was thinking of getting this MBO: https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/PRIME-Z370-A/

What you guys think? Is this good enough for my needs? If there is some cheaper version without RGB please give me a recommendation. There are so many brands and models that i am honestly lost. That's why i need some help 😛

I would give a max of 200$ for a MBO.

Best regards and thank you in advance for any help guys :)
 
Solution
They are all good boards. The Asrock and MSI only have 5 traditional and 1 type C rear USB. The Asus has 8 traditional. If USB is your main concern then get the Asus. They will perform pretty equally otherwise


I've noticed that this asus prime which i mentioned in a post above have way to low number of usb ports on rear end for my needs. I'd like to get at least 6 usb ports on rear end. So this MBO no good deal for me :)

Can you recommend me some other solutions please?
Thanks! 😀
