" ... I am glad I bought it for my first PC, it is a good investment if you are in a budget when building a PC, I have it for months and it is fast, reliable motherboard, I haven't tested for gaming, because the PC was design for just normal use, no graphic card was put for my pc, I can say the picture, video are impressive and audio is excellent ( using only what it is in the motherboard), USB ports work great. ...
