modern budget motherboardsHow-To Geek
•60% Informative
Premium chipsets included more features compared to more affordable ones, as well as high-end memory controllers.
Nowadays, memory controllers are embedded in the CPU package, and different motherboard chipsets don’t give you an ounce of performance boost.
Well-made modern budget motherboards come with quality VRMs, which is the most crucial feature to look out for in a motherboard nowadays.
Some premium boards come with built-in DACs and flagship audio solutions but, again, are they worth it? High-end motherboards also pack four or more M.2 ports, but again, do you need that many? I am happy with 2 TB of storage and I still have room for another PCIe 3.0 drive.
At the end of the day , unless you require a specific high-end feature, you shouldn’t pay extra for a pricey motherboard.
Another thing I advise is to write a list of required and nice-to-have features before you start looking for your next motherboard. This way, you can see whether any budget board fulfills your needs, or if you’ll have to opt for a mid-range or high-end model, right from the get-go. If you're looking for some budget motherboard recommendations, check out my best motherboard roundups: I've got one covering the best motherboards for AMD CPUs and one that lists the best motherboards for Intel CPUs..
