Pros & Cons
Pros
Great value for the price, has all the specs for cheap gaming pc. Spec is perfect for my needs.
Cons
The x1 slot is way way too close to the x16. And to add insult to injury, the slots are further apart (so x1 is usable) in the non max version of the same motherboard, ridiculous!
Highlights
Quality
Never used, but looks great quality and good value for money.
Easy set up for cheap render pc, using ryzen 3 2200g, works sweet.
That said, for the price you get a board that is tpm2.
Price
Shopped around and this was within my price range.

Competitiveness
Powered it with a 600w psu and it works like a dream.
Paired it with an athlon 3000g and some ddr4 3200 i had lying around.
2 ssd, a ryzen 3600 gtx 1660 and 16gb of 3200mhz ram to go with this board.
Have to say i do not regret that at all, i've had it paired with a 2700x, gtx 970, 16gb of 3200mhz corsair ram and a 250gb wd m.

Sure this is not the most up to date chipset and may not have all the bells and whistles but bang for buck it’s spot on
