I recently got the idea of building my first gaming pc and got a build from someone on this forum ( i trusted you guys ) but i decided to to a little research so i know what I'd be getting myself into and i found some good reviews on my mobo but also some really bad ones. Are there any other options for me or am i being too fussy? I'd like to keep it around 95$ and it needs to be compatible with all my other components. Here is my build :

Thanks you for your time,

It is good to check the reviews, particularly the bad ones.
But.. look at the reason for failure; it is often incompetence on the part of the buyer.

Anything will sometimes fail and those are the posts you are most likely to see.
A bit fussy? perhaps.

I have used asus, asrock, gigabyte, msi ecs and found them all to be good.
Your safest bet is to look for a motherboard that has been available for a while. That allows more time for the inevitable minor bios updates to get applied.
