Overall Review: We updated my system when the old motherboard started having issues with the BIOS getting corrupted. This CPU is sort of a mid-level processor on this board and a compromise based on the budget I set for the product. I would easily recommend it as a good budget based choice with more than adequate speed/performance.

Pros: My son and I replaced the motherboard on my computer. This required new memory and a new processor to go on the board. I was able to keep using my SATA SSD drives. One of the few issues we encountered was that one of the SATA cables didn't seem to "click in place" into the motherboard and we had to replace it. Otherwise it went pretty smoothly. Next will be to upgrade the SATA drives to the newer faster M2 drives. The board came with the most recent version of the BIOS so no update was needed.

Overall Review: While this is not a top of the line type motherboard, it is perfect for my non-gamer needs. It feels slightly faster than the older system, works with my SATA drives and existing Nvidia graphics card. For people with similar needs I would recommend it.
