Now I know not to trust anything unbranded\generic, but considering I can't find a branded lga1155 socket mobo on eBay for less than $100 I can't help but ask people's opinions as I've found lots of generic ones around the $60 mark.
I would like to pair it with a GTX 1050ti for gaming, guessing MOBOs have to be pretty solid build to handle it all which makes my questioning all the more important.
Asus used to make a big deal about even the country of manufacture of the capacitors. I wouldn't risk the fire hazard or CPU damage of a cheap socket or electrical damage. It's quite likely the contacts are inferior, too. Definitely look for gold contacts in the photo.
The PCBs in motherboards are multilayer, so the generic will likely have fewer layers and longer/less equal tracks, so overclocking would probably be affected. Track layout is quite an artform.
