Motherboards help

[AORUS]

The foundation is important, and balance for specific use case is king.

A motherboard doesn't offer anything other than connectivity when you boil it down, as long as it can handle what you're plugging into it nothing else matters, and often more money doesn't mean a better result. A power supply on the other hand, if you skimp it could damage everything you plug into it. A CPU that's ill suited to a task will tank performance, too little or slow RAM will reduce or again tank performance. Poor cooling will effect everything I've mentioned. A graphics card can make a massive difference depending on use case, also no, more "premium" cards aren't necessarily worth the extra cost in the regard you're suggesting.

It's not a matter of opinion, it's a matter of fact and one that can be observably proven in the case of PC hardware.

A "budget" motherboard for £80-150 as long as it has competent VRM's for the CPU will never damage system performance, it just means you can't plug as much into it and it might not look as pretty.

It's personal preference on pc building, some spends 10K on custom water cooling setups, it's away above my limit but it's there choice, so spending £500 MB even isn't a bragging right even if I won't use everything on the board I might one day in future I understand some won't pay for extra features or feel the manufacture is ripping everyone off, because there is always going to be people out there who is willing to spend there own money on what they want. No matter the high price, why I made this thread to find out two motherboards I was look at for a 285k build because I couldn't find any reviews.

Not to start a bragging rights.
