I recently attempted to build a PC with the following specs:
i3 6300
ASRock Z170M
Crucial Ballistix Sport LT 8GB
Corsair CX430
After spending two to three hours obsessive-compulsively assembling a PC for the first time, the motherboard turned out to be DOA. That's what I get for buying a mobo with two stars on Newegg. But anyways, I have since been unable to decide on a new motherboard. I had initially wanted the Asus TUF Sabertooth Z170 S--But then I realized that I may not really need to spend $200 on a motherboard for an i3 build.
I would like to have a motherboard with a Z170 chipset, and my budget is between nothing whatsoever and $200. It would be helpful it wasn't ridiculously expensive, and if it didn't have a reputation for coming defective--just, you know, as a bonus.
Suggestions...?
