Pros: Price is low. Z87 chip set within $100.
Cons: head phone port is in a wired position. Dead PCI E slot
Overall Review: Brought this motherboard for me second build. thought this motherboard will work but it does not 100%. I figure out the first PCI E slot is defective when I do a outside computer case build. I can not plug my R9 270X into to the first PCI E slot and the video card is stuck at some point. Then I try the second the PCI E slot which works just fine. Beside the first PCI E slot, this is not any thing to complaint about.
