Whats the best LGA1151 MOBO For XX$??

What is the best LGA1151 Mobo that uses DDR3 for $125 or less??
I was thinking Asus B150 Pro Gaming??
Does it only use DDR3 or are half the ram slots DDR3 nd the other haf DDR4?

I would not recommend any LGA1151 board other than a Z170 or H170 chipset. DDR4 is not expensive right now so you can get 16GB for not much more than $50.

Gigabyte Gaming 7 is on the top of my list, but that's mainly 'cause I just recently built a new rig with one and love it

Lots of features, slots, extras etc and it is really fast & quiet too !

Don't mean to be rude here but did you even read the post? I needed a motherboard that supported DDR3 not DDR4 for less then $125.00. Doesn't matter now though I already bought a new motherboard from AMD instead of going Skylake this time.Just couldn't get the total cost low enough to be able to buy into Intel Skylake.

Hopefully you'll be able to upgrade for Zen next year!

Yeah skylake's a hard sell if you already have Sandy Bridge or newer and do the slightest amount of research into the issue.. I did it for my mother as a favor and it's a hobby and I just wanted to have USB 3.1 type C, M.2, etc.

For such an older platform this motherboard and CPU kick some major ass. I thought AMD sucks as far as AMD FX goes, at least that is what everyone is saying around these parts?? Cant tell it by me. Plus this motherboard was a refresh so it has M.2 and USB 3.1 I couldn't be happier specially since my PC doesn't take 5 mins to boot any longer.God I couldn't get away from that X79 crap fast enough. It was one nightmare after another.Boot issues,USB ports disconnecting,and major Sata 3 issue's.Not to mention total lag.Seems like with AMD everything just work like it should.its odd cause I never had those problems on x58 and I had like 5 different x58 systems up till now.
