<![CDATA[ASUS Prime A320M-K is a home motherboard and I would not recommend this motherboard for gaming or business.  This will be a review of the motherboard and a comparison to other low end home motherboards.
AsusTek Computer Inc. (stylised as ASUSTeK or ΛSUS) is a Taiwanese multinational computer and phone hardware and electronics company headquartered in Beitou District, Taipei, Taiwan. Its products include desktops, laptops, netbooks, mobile phones, networking equipment, monitors, WIFI routers, projectors, motherboards, graphics cards, optical storage, multimedia products, peripherals, wearables, servers, workstations, and tablet PCs. The company is also an original equipment manufacturer (OEM). (AsusWiki)

The Prime A320M-K is one of ASUS’s older models that they still sell on the market. It comes fully equipped with the support needed on a home computer. The motherboard form factor is Micro ATX and measures quite small at 8.7″ x 8.9″.  Pertaining to the CPU and Memory aspects:

• CPU: AM4 CPU socket; compatible to Ryzen, Athlon, and A-Series processors
• Memory: 2×288pin memory slots, 32GB of supported memory, memory standard: DDR4 3200(O.C.)/ 2933(O.C.)/ 2666/ 2400/ 2133

Other onboard components:

• Integrated AMD Radeon R Series Graphics in the 7th Generation A-Series APU
• Realtek ALC887, 8 Channels
• LAN Chipset: Realtek RTL8111H, Max LAN Speed:10/100/1000Mbps
• 4 x SATA 6Gb/s port(s), gray
• 4 x USB 3.0
• 2 x USB 2.0
• 1 x D-Sub Video Port
• 1 x PS/2 keyboard ,1 x PS/2 mouse
• 3 Audio Ports
• Expansion Slots:
  • 2 x PCIe 2.0 x1
  • AMD Ryzen Processors: 1 x PCIe 3.0/2.0 x16 (x16 mode)
  • AMD 7th Gen A-series / Athlon Processors: 1 x PCIe 3.0/2.0 x16 (x8 mode)

I found this motherboard while searching through NewEgg for a new home motherboard at a low price. I stumbled across this motherboard and with a 3 star review decided to give it a chance. However, after using this motherboard for a few weeks I have to say that 3 stars was far to generous. After reading through more reviews, I realized other people had experienced the same problems I had. Reviewer Gregory R. put it perfectly when he stated,”Writing on board is hard to read. Says on Asus Website ” delivers outstanding overclocking capabilities for the latest AMD® AM4-socket Ryzen™ processors” but there is no option to overclock in BIOS.” This specific site holds the price at $59.99 but I regret paying even that little amount. I would not recommend this motherboard 2/10.

<![CDATA[This review will be about the ASUS X299-Deluxe motherboard. This motherboard is a great high-end motherboard option. On Newegg, you can purchase this gaming option for $479.99. The motherboard is designed for 7th generation LGA2066 socket Intel Core X-Series processors to maximize connectivity and speed (ASUS). The ASUS Prime X299- Deluxe has an ATX form factor.
The ASUS Prime X299-Deluxe motherboard is made by the number one motherboard brand in the world. ASUS was founded in 1989 and has since has made over 500 million motherboards, and been named the best motherboard brand for 6 consecutive years (Wikipedia). Because the motherboard is coming from a high-end company, you can assure that it is reliable and working to the best of your needs.

Specifications:

• Native motherboard speed of 2666 MHz
• Video (Supported only by CPU with integrated graphic)
• Integrated Audio (Realtek ALC S1220A, 8 channels)
• Integrated LAN (Intel I219-V)/ Second LAN (Intel I211-AT)
• 3 x PCIe 3.0/2.0 x16 (x16, x16/x16, x16/x16/x8)
• 2 x PCIe 3.0/2.0 x16 (max at x4 mode) *1
• 3 x PCIe 3.0/2.0 x16 ( x16, x16/x8, x16/x8/x4)
• 2 x PCIe 3.0/2.0 x16 (max at x4 mode) *1
• 3 x PCIe 3.0/2.0 x16 (x16, x8/x8, x8/x8/x1)
• 2 x PCIe 3.0/2.0 x16 (max at x4 mode) *1
• DDR4 memory that supports up to 128GB

The ASUS Prime X299-deluxe motherboard is not only a great option for a high-end gaming system, but it could also work as a business motherboard if you needed it to. I recommend this option not because of the price but because of all of the high-end components this motherboard has to offer. The ASUS Prime X299-Deluxe has metal framing for a stronger and more reliable structure. It also has the industry leading audio and video (Newegg). ASUS has led me to believe that this motherboard has no cons. Although the price of this motherboard is pretty steep, it is hard to find one that does and has as much as the ASUS Prime X299-Deluxe for cheaper. If you want a high-end gaming motherboard, then the ASUS Prime X299-Deluxe is the motherboard for you!

<![CDATA[

Gigabyte is an international manufacturer and distributed of computer hardware parts.  What Gigabyte is most famous for is their wide varieties of motherboards. This manufacture is one of the largest motherboard manufacturers in the world producing about 400,000 motherboards per month. If I had to choose, the type of motherboard that I would choose is a Gigabyte motherboard.

I would not choose any ordinary motherboard though. The gigabyte motherboard that I would choose is the Gigabyte Aorus GA-Z270X-Gaming K7 motherboard.

• ATX Form Factor
• Highest speed O.C: 4133(O.C.)
• Highest Speed: 2400 MHz
• Onboard Audio: Channels: 2/4/5.1/7.1-channel
• Onboard Video: Integrated Graphics Processor-Intel HD Graphics support
•  Onboard LAN: Max LAN Speed is Dual 10/100/1000Mbps
• 3 x PCI Express x16 slot
• 3 x PCI Express x1 slots
• 6 x SATA 6Gb/s
• 3 x SATA Express connectors

I would choose this motherboard because it is a good high end gaming motherboard and it is also a decently cheap one as well. This motherboard speed ranges from 2666 O.C to 4133 O.C which is a very good range of speeds for a gaming PC.
Another reason why I would choose this motherboard is because of all of the expansion slots. There are a total of six different PCIe expansion slots. These slots will allow the user to add additional hardware parts to make your PC run even faster or other things.
The Gigabyte Aorus GA-Z270X-Gaming K7 motherboard is the one motherboard that I would choose for my PC if I was building my own PC. All because of how well it will perform with such a low price.

(Micro-Star International) is a Taiwanese multinational information technology corporation headquartered in New Taipei City, Taiwan. It designs, develops and provides computer hardware, related products and services, including laptops, desktops, motherboards, graphics cards, All-in-One PCs, servers, industrial computers, PC peripherals, car infotainment products, etc. (MSI Wikipedia)
 
Specifications

• ATX Form Factor
• Supports Ryzen ThreadRipper (TR4) Series Processors
• 8 DDR4 slots that support up to 128GB in quad channel
• 4 PCI-Ex16 slots
• 2 PCI-Ex1
• 8 SATAIII Ports
• 3 M.2 Slots
•  Supports SLI & Crossfire
• Integrated Realtek ALC122 Codec Audio

In testing the motherboard I found that it is extremely fast, and better than most motherboards at this price range ($349). It supports a beastly cpu, large amount of ram, lots of storage options, and even a few M.2 slots. This motherboard is a great option if you are looking to get into the Ryzen Threadripper scene for a lower price. As this is an expensive motherboard, higher-end Threadripper boards can cost you anywhere from $500-$600. In conclusion, the X399 SLI PLUS motherboard is a great, well rounded, motherboard that gives you a lot more, for the little price that you are paying to get into the Threadripper scene.
