Like I said earlier about buying a board, I am really going back and forth. I was looking at ASUS, but some said bad things are going on with ASUS boards. Then I thought Gigabyte, and people said I was nuts because of all the problems they have had with them. I myself have had issues with ASRock, so that made me worry about them. MSI is the answer is what others said, but now I hear other things about MSI too.
I go to a Microcenter, and the guy I talked to recommended ASRock and Gigabyte.
I have found that everyone on here has had some issue with a brand of some sort. I guess it comes with the territory. I need to just go with what I like, and I'm sure I'll be fine, even if it's Gigabyte.
I'm really looking at the ASRock Z690 Extreme now. It has 8 sata ports since I have have 7 HDD right now, with more to come shortly. With having to buy an add on card for the MSI z690 A DDR4, it puts the ASRock at over $50 cheaper.
I guess I'll make my decision one day. Who knows?
