I have an AMD 1055T processor right now. I ordered the ASRock motherboard that was featured in a previous system builder marathon article and it was DoA. This will be used for gaming... Looking to stay around $100. Thank you!
The ASRock is still a good choice. RMA it for another. All board manufactures end up with DOA items. The quality of the boards themselves aren't inherently bad because of a DOA item.
