Excellent
There's just no USB C, but I've got absolutely nothing that uses it.
Apart from that, it's got everything you need, it's well thought out for connections and assembly, and it's beautiful.

this motherboard is great, but I don't think there are enough rgb ports, which is why I'm giving it 4 stars.
