Is this a cheap mobo- No, it definitely isn't. What it is however, is a very good mobo. Being Asus, the build quality is good. Being Sabertooth, takes it one step further. Most of the features you would expect are present, except for M.2. Plenty of expansion ports, sata ports, and fan headers. More importantly, everything is where it needs to be in order to make a tidy build. UEFI bios is a breeze to use, and everything a beginner or pro would need. What are you waiting for- Get into this amazing mobo!
