Hello! Can some one explain me please what is the difference between a regular motherboard and a gaming motherboard ? And can you suggest a good mother board under 150 euro . I have an i5 6500 ,8gb ddr4, gtx960 , but I'm planing to upgrade in the future to i7 6700k ,and I'm waiting for benchmarks but also want to replace the gtx960 whit the new rx480. So what mother board would be good for that build ?
Thank you very much tomshardware community.

Usually "gaming" anything is just marketing at work. No benefits at all, if anything, costs are cut on quality and increased on aesthetics.

your motherboard has to have the z170 chipset if you are gonna overclock with that , otherwise if the chipset is different the price would be lower too

gaming mb vs stock...have more heat sinks over the vrm and chipset...may have higher end realteck audio chipset and network chipset. may even have two ethernet chipset. may have led on the mb for lighting. the vrm will be larger and have more of them. most mb will have 4 phase power..good gaming mb will have 8. ones with higher then 8 are mb for overclocking.
