I bought this motherboard and just assembled my first computer. It was easier than I thought. Of course I watched a lot of videos on You Tube. I read the instructions about 10 times to make sure I have the right parts. Well, I have to say that the built-in music card (or whatever) just blew me away. I have a setup connected to high end Klipsch computer speakers. I hear things in my music that I can't even hear in my headphones. it is a real pleasure. The instructions were also easy to understand. It tells you what all ios need and that everything will work. I used a 10th gen i7 processor with a Corsair AIO liquid cooling. I also have an MSI GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER Gaming X 6GB GDDR Dual Fan PCIe 3.0x 16 Graphics GPU. with Western Digital WD Blue SN550 NVMe 1TB Internal SSD - Gen3 x4 PCIe 8Gb/s, M.2 2280, 3D NAND, up to 2400MB/s - WDS100T2B0C with Corsair RGB PRO 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4 2933 (PC4-23400) C16 Desktop Memory - Black (CMW16GX4M2Z2933C16). I wasn't looking for a hardcore gaming rig but will play some games. I mainly use mine for the media part. (Music, movies, video editing, photo editing, etc.). If this is your first time building I would recommend this as it really offers a lot for the money. The only downside I found is that there aren't enough USB 3 ports on the back.
