I want to buy one of these three mainboards


1. the d3h has alc 892 codec and crossfire support, i really hate it's i/o shield, but it's the cheapest

2. the bazooka has alc 887 codec and RGB header, and a usb type c 3.1 port

3. the asus has ROG name in it

That is true, I bring it up as a consideration for not having to deal with getting a new case if all you want is a window.

As far as the motherboard goes, I don't know how much of a difference the audio codec makes, but the UEFI interface in the BIOS is a big one. I prefer Asus over Gigabyte, but have no experience with MSI. With prices that close, I would go with Asus, especially if you want m.2, nvme ssd's (though I am a huge Asus fan. . .).

2 m.2 slots and alc 1220 codec (supremefx)

my case doesn't have window but i can always sell it to buy phanteks p400s and use the rgb that msi promises, but looking at the 887 codec i got confused

i have a cooler master mastercase 5 btw

in my country gigabyte is the cheapest, msi is 7 dollars more and asus is 14 dollars more

now i have a question regarding the audio codec

should i buy the gigabyte one or should i consider buying asus just because it has better codec
