I spent many late nights researching motherboards, trying to decide which was best, gave the latest options and so on.
I am building a new pc rather than just buy off the shelf which I normally do, I wanted more control over my machine as I use it for all the usual home tasks and some MMO gaming such as WoW and SWTOR.
Make no mistake, there are lots of boards out there offering similiar, more, the best, you wont get better and price tags to match. This was a cheaper option than many, however what I did establish is that this has everything I need. Socket 1155, USB3 sockets for the future, SSD slot on the motherboard if I need an SSD drive.
From what I have trawled through on the net this board is everything most people will ever need and more, unless you have very specific needs then you will know exactly what you want, but if you dont then this is perfect. The software is great the layout of the board is very good and the documentation is almost childs play when it comes to finding out where you need to plug everything into.
I installed the processor and its fan in under 10 mins from opening the box and I have never built a pc before so I am no expert, in fact my hand was shaking installing the processor thinking I would break it!
I really cant say much more than that, great price in comparison to others, far more features than I would ever require both on the board on in terms of software.
For reference my build was:
Gigabyte motherboard
Nivida GT650 Ti video
Asus sound card
I3 2100 Processor
8GB Corsair memory
It might not be the best out there but I can run games like WoW and SWTOR on full settings and it does not even flicker :)

i bought this motherboard and installed it. it worked fine and then after 2 days i got stuck in a reeboot loop. i tried to fix it myself buti couldnt do it. i gave it to the local computer center and they couldn't do anything about it either (that cost me forty quid). so i did some research and it turns out this model of board has been known to have this fault. i wouldn't buy it again and i dont recommend it but it was good while it lasted. i sent it back and got a refund. all's well that ends well. :)

I was after a cheap motherboard to use over clock on a 2500k. After reading a few reviews on other cheap boards I seen a few people complaining about the MOSFET not having a heat sink and were getting very hot. I bought this board as it was within my budget and has a single heat sink on the MOSFET's.
The motherboard was a breeze to install and comes with a software cd that has lots of handy utilities, please note though this board has NO IDE connectors so you will need to make sure that all your devices are SATA.

A bit too barebones.
I bought 2 of these boards.
My fault, I did not read all the specs carefully enough.
I installed the boards in new cases which have front USB 3 connections. Read more
