    Verified purchase

    One of the best, if not the best budget AM4 motherboard. For media consuming, browsing, and very casual gaming, it's just right. Plenty of ports and good software from MSI for updates and customization, far superior to what other brands offer in this price range at least. The expensive ones all take care of everything.
