[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 72227, post: 734207"] I agree with the suggestions of either MSI or Gigabyte. It pains me to say this, but the ASUS of now is not the ASUS of old. In my opinion, ASUS use to be king. When you got an ASUS board you were guaranteed quality. There customer support use to be very good as well. Unfortunately, this period has passed and ASUS is not the same company that I once loved when I started building computers. Recently I find their quality has dropped (alot...) and their boards are $50-$100 more expensive compared to their competition equivalents (MIS/Gigabyte). It seems like both MSI and Gigabyte have really turned it around recently and are putting out top notch boards. What really tipped me over the edge was when this whole Spectre/Meltdown microcode thing was going on. ASUS for while refused to update some boards, touting EOL. I think they have had a change of heart and released BIOS updates for many of their boards (just last week), but personally, I think it was due to the backlash they were getting, not because it was the right thing to do. As for Asrock, I have never tried their boards, but something never sat quite right with me since they came out. I always felt like it was always to good to be true. I think my next build/upgrade will be with either MSI or Gigabye. [/QUOTE]
