Will be a solid 1440p gaming Machine.

Motherboard is a budget board but I'm sure you know that, the rest of the components are solid choices.

Do you think it’s worth getting a better motherboard (if so could you recommend which one to get) or will this one be fine

Don't get me wrong it's a good board for the money and as long as it has the features you need then your good .
