High quality motherboard for a low price. Great for 1st time system build. This board wont disappoint you. Your getting Asus 5x protection. USB 3.0 Boost technology, SATA 3 6gps, Turbo boost, GPU boost.. This board is loaded with features! For under $70 I was really surprised at how well this board performs and the high quality of components and features it has. A good combo of quality system tools from ASUS and Intel® Chipset H81 performance and power efficiency make this a well balanced board at a low price!
Having one dedicated SSD and HD is all I needed to take advantage of Intel's Desktop Technologies without using RAID volumes
