Nothing to say
It's all in the title. Nothing else to say. Top value for money. I haven't used it enough to say how long it will last, but it will hold all the components you need, no need to overkill.

Good motherboard
This motherboard works well. I only encountered 2 problems but they were quickly solved.
When installing Windows 10, I had an old version of Windows and I could not install the network drivers. To avoid this problem I advise you to install the 22H2 version of Windows 10.
Another problem appeared when I could not boot on Windows 10. This problem seems to come from a bug in the bios that appears when you make a backup without change. The solution is to modify a parameter of the bios (the beep of starting for example), to make a safeguard and the problem is regulated.
Last info, if in the device manager you have an unrecognized item it is probably the "intel gna scoring accelerator 3.0" driver that you have not installed.
