Hi, first of all I am a new member and my name is Jeff and first time posting here!
I am building a computer for my 5 year old daughter and have picked up a few items.
corsair 100r case
msi rx480 4gb
pentium g4560 cpu
evga 700b power supply
I am trying to decide on a motherboard and have narrowed it down to a few and would like to see what others thought about them, I may in the future change the pentium out for an I5 processor but I will wait and see how this one plays out first as my daughter is mostly playing Roblox, Minecraft and does jump on steam to play games in our library that consist of borderlands, fallout, cod etc.
she will not play with a remote like xbox or the like and is all the way using keyboards and mice, I am pretty impressed that she prefers KB and mice over controllers.
the boards I am looking at are
asus strix
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MTXYB5W/?tag=tec06d-20
gigabyte
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N2V0ATE/?tag=tec06d-20
msi gaming m3
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MR32WT2/?tag=tec06d-20
msi gaming carbon
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N7PFH75/?tag=tec06d-20
I like the 90* usb3 front header on the msi boards and we will be using an m.2 ssd and a single gpu rgb and led's are not an issue with me so that is not a deciding factor.
the strix board doesn't look like it has a lot of features and only 1 pci x16 slot as the msi carbon has 2 x 16 slots I know I will not be using 2 gpu's but for the money I just want to make sure that i am getting everything I can on a board even if it will not be utilized now it may in the future who knows.
I am leaning towards the msi boards or the gigabyte board.
any pro help would be great for helping me choose.
thanks alot
Jeff
