How to Choose the PERFECT Motherboard for a Gaming PC in 2023! 🛠️ [+ Our Top Choices!]

[@carlworrall]

as an old guy trying to figure out what motherboard to pick this really helped thank you

[@TheCubingLord-ro5jc]

dont call yourself old mate. pshycologically bad.

[@ajcaldecott3840]

I just have to say that after following you for the last few years you guys always manage to be a couple of steps ahead of what my next PC idea will be which I find amazing. I haven't built a new rig in about 8 years and have decided that 2023 is about time to start again thanks to your incredible content. Thank you for being so informative and enjoyable to watch. Keep up the fantastic work. I wish I had your job,you guys make this stuff look so much fun!

[@sn3ke124]

I upgraded 8 years ago. So this video helped me alot to catch up on what is going on more or less in 2024

[@jbeast_131_6]

One thing I will say is if you are working off of a low end/small form factor board, be aware of how many fan headers you have. I was just doing a lower budget build with a motherboard that only had one cpu fan slot and one system fan slot. Ended up having to buy a fan hub to get my fans connected!

[@styxce3968]

Building my own pc rn. Was pretty good on everything except the motherboard. Much appreciated.

[@xfemkeplx]

Thank you for your explanation! I'm looking into parts for my first PC build and this video was a great help~

[@steveionjoker5319]

You forgot to mention some include bios flashback which is good future proofing 😉

[@TheRozza333]

Great video. Building my first rig and motherboards have confused the hell out of me. This has helped alot

[@mtascp05]

This channel and others were a great help. it’s been almost ten years since my last build. I went with a midrange gaming/general use build, and the mobo is the Gigabyte Gaming X Z690 DDR4.

[@achilleshector6977]

What do u think of it? I'm thinking about buying it, is it good for overclocking?

[@poppopp0p]

I’ve never built a pc before and I was so lost the whole video😭

[@ThatMinecraftPig__1]

i know you said this a year ago but im feeling the same.. im so confused what the fuckis he talking about 😭😭

[@ProjectMATHEW]

@@ThatMinecraftPig__1 Im starting up the mountain as well. We're right on the cusp of a changing of the guard (with Graphics cards at least - CPUs likely to follow later on). First pick your price and from there realise the bulk of it will be eaten by the CPU and GPU. Then it becomes a matter of match the compatibilties. The Motherboard seems the hardest becase its got all of the acronyms, but try to remember that everything was designed by people (so you'll be able to understand). For Intel Z = High end, B = budget end, then the number (kinda) disctates how new it is, bigger newer (gross oversimplification but kinda works feature wise). From there all brands basically offer diferent features, find something that meets your needs, I for example wasted money on a headset that has too many effing 3.5mm jacks to function properly so that becomes a featuer I look for. AMD is similar, X = High end, B = lower end, then the numbers dictate, similarly, the variety of most current features. Once again, brand to brand offer different options. The tricky part is being vigilant - if you don't understand something google it first, make sure you need it. internal ports for fan powering has a code, internal power and funtionality for case features (like front facing USB or lights) have a code, Extra power required for some GPUs have a code, RAM compatability has a code (get where I'm going). not a lot of these codes overlap which is nice, but to build and enjoy a gaming PC you don't really need to understand everything on a deep level, just whether its important to your build or not. Another great way to learn is to mess around with online PC builders and make something within your budget/level of needs then research each component slowly and see what features set it apart and why it is a basic requirement for each different build. And try to be patient, sucks but its true, I really want my PC tomorrow, but in Feb 2025 theres a new line off GPUs and so I'm waiting to see some performance and cost variables before I jump in (although it kills me).

[@StayedZues584]

Love u

[@angaloseeton4836]

I was to when I started out and still learning it’s honestly not that bad buddy you can do it and take your time hardest part for me actually setting every thing up like windows key and so on I am going on 2months with mine. Just added 4tb because you will use a lot of storage

[@lexxrose8983]

Same here hade to google some stuff and there's is still so much questions in my baby PC builder brain. It's so much to take at the same time I just want my PC to be perfectly balanced and efficient.

[@garrettjones8947]

This is one of the best mobo videos on this app. Really good explanation, easily digestible info, enough technical data to get you an idea of what pieces do what job, but not so much as to make your head spin! Really just an amazing video all around!

[@crybabbyyyy]

You're super charismatic and did such a great job explaining everything consicely! Thanks!

[@riogun4154]

Damn bro!!This helped me a lot and provided me insights on all of things I needed to know about.

[@Abhishek-y7l]

You explain everything so perfectly. Thank you so much

[@kingreptor8794]

Just what I needed, thanks for making this video.

[@dexterv6376]

Very useful and informative

[@stu1002]

This guy should have a bigger channel - he's a really good youtube educator - very clear and engaging.

[@IanEvolution]

dawg is still dont even know what any of this means, how would one know whats a better motherboard

[@a-cashious9304]

Depends on what CPU you want. (AMD or Intel)

[@T4041t]

If I would want a amd cpu what motherboard do I get

[@That-fallout-fan]

You didn’t watch the video did you

[@bryanfongo327]

​@@T4041tit depends entirely on what you want to do with the computer and also on every other component of your build, that's what the video is for

[@jokok2333]

Videos like these are helpful. I'm not going to remember this every 4-6 years I build a new one.

[@edw.7653]

Thanks for the info. Haven’t built a system in a long time and am thinking of building one. The choice of mobos is crazy. Ditto with the cpu.

[@westfield90]

Pcie 5.0 will free up pcie lanes so it will allow your graphics card to run on just 8 lanes and still perform like a 16 lane pcie 4.0 allowing you to add more M.2

[@chrisleranthonysilveira5464]

Does b760 work with i5 12th gen 12400f.

[@Brigand17]

How did it go?

[@doctorno3912]

Just ordered an asus x670e hero motherboard. Looking forward to getting the rest for my build.

[@albertxt2144]

i know alot about motherborad but i still have no idear what motherboard to upragde to

[@PilotChris06FW]

From many reviews i have seen for 12th gen intel the best budget board is the MSI pro b660m-a as its the only board that lets these CPUs run to full potential.

[@MiGzZ_X1]

I have a b550m pro p is that any good?

[@inlowprice1614]

his electric bill would vanish my 2 month income

[@Something_random-sometimes]

Make a 13500 + 3060ti full gaming setup....!!! 😍

[@ARedditor397]

That is a scam

[@Verroll]

U just got scammed

[@husseinaz3137]

I5 12400f is more than enough for 3060ti

[@JLP_710]

Ive never even owned a computer and am building my first gaming pc. I’ve heard a LOT of complaints with the ASUS B650E. Like coil wind, problems with drivers, usb, Bluetooth, and LAN issues, trouble with initial BIOS launch, having to download drivers off a different computer to a usb so that the internet works, and I’m probably missing a few. I was leaning hard toward this mobo due to the micro center bundle with the 7900x but now I’m completely turned off by it. KZbinrs recommending AM5 but then so many people also saying it’s sh*t and stay with am4. Are these legitimate concerns? Are they issues with the non asus b650? Should I forget the $300 savings and just get better components? Im really just so confused and with so much money and a 2.5 hour drive one way to micro center I DO NOT want to mess this up. Thanks for anyone willing to help..

[@X5XST4RK1L3R]

IDK if you built your PC yet but I built mine around when you were considering yours and I'm using a A770. 0 issues doing any of it and i have a mild overclock on my 7800X3D. A770 is pretty killer nowadays, it runs starfield fine now and i get 244 fps on high settings on avatar. 1080p btw but there is no reason it cant run 2k or 4k. my monitor is the limiting factor which i'll be upgrading soon.

[@user--R839]

What motherboard would be good for a intel i9 10900F ?

[@luvfiti-g5c]

hey which one did you pick?

[@evansheehan9258]

It seems like amd-supported motherboards would have to be replaced less, since they’d be able to support new CPUs

[@The_Pariah]

You havea lot of confidence when you talk. You sound certain about what you're saying. It's a good trait to have, especially when making video content like this. Cheers.

[@jakek3653]

Best motherboard for 7800x3D and 4090 all white build? $200-$400 if the higher priced ones are worth it

[@fabianneuhauser4772]

I would say, its a great pc

[@bjaminfranklin6596]

Hi ... the rog strix your showing doesn't support amd .. it's Intel isn't it ?

[@casillas4501]

So I'm actually building my first pc on a budget, and can't decide between the ryzen 5500 and the i3-12100f. Since I'm a casual gamer and and do casual productivity, I'm not sure what makes the most sense, any advise? trying to be in the $500-$600 range.

[@iikatinggangsengii2471]

depends, think 12100 is faster, gaming wise, both can upgrade to great cpus so up to you but i guess ryzen if you plan to pair it with radeon

[@Francozt01]

As some one said in the comments, you forgot that. Some will have a bios flashback button, and some WON'T. 😄

[@iikatinggangsengii2471]

think dual bios is more convenient for regular users

[@tuyingcruz2383]

nice video mr. Taron Egerton

[@farcydebop]

I've been looking for this video for so long. Straight to the facts, without all the cringe jokes and other BS parasiting the content.

[@BillMenendez]

I always forget the compatibility with ryzen and need to look it up which is irritating can you do a deep dive on it? starting from gen1 to now I'd just like to have all the info from 101 to expert. sounds like fun ? lol

I was hoping this video would go over topics like RAM speed support (don't want the motherboard to downclock the expensive ram) as well as PCIe lane bottlenecks and similar stuff :(

[@achilleshector6977]

Omg your incredible im currently building my first gaming pc can I get a recommendation for a 3000 Australian dollar 4070ti build would be amazing

[@doctorno3912]

With the 4070 ti costing $1500 you have half that for the rest of the build. Which can be a bit rough given prices in Australia. Not impossible but you'll have to be pretty frugal on the case, ram etc. You more an intel or amd kinda guy?

[@tobiaskeith-magee4061]

Preferably intel

[@tobiaskeith-magee4061]

If not 4070ti what would be a good graphics card for a $3000 pc build?
