Hello Gurn,
All brands have there fan boys, Me I went Micro Star International. In reality the competition between all Motherboard makers is a great thing they are all doing there best to sell you there platform. What I think it comes down to is there are entry level boards and there are enthusiast boards you get what you pay for.
And on a side note the company who builds the best Motherboards in my personal opinion is EVGA. Man how I wish they had an AMD option!
I 've built 2 PCs using Gigabyte boards - my current desktop PC from 2012 and my father's PC from 2013. There have been no problems and Gigabyte still provide technical support. For some reason new CMOS batteries are needed every 2 years since we turn off the PCs at the mins when not in use.
I got a wicked good deal on an MSI X470 Gaming Plus Max from Newegg, so I bought it. It does everything I need it to. I have an MSI mobo in my PC at work and it's pretty much bulletproof so I thought what the heck?
Now, a question:
Fresh install of Win 10? Or repair Install?
New motherboard deserves clean install Not that restoring system Image from existing computer won't work....
