I bought this board when it was $128 and thought it was a fantastic deal.
Now it's $115 and I'm not even mad. This board cannot be beat for value if you're building an Intel gaming system at the moment. Pair with an i5 8400.
It is the cheapest Intel board on the market with Realtek ALC1220 audio. RGB is just icing on the cake. 👌 If you require both those features and Intel Ethernet the next cheapest you will find is the ASUS ROG STRIX B360-G GAMING which is around $50 more.

Damn. I would have waited for this. Got the MSI 360 mortar instead. Oh well
