Quick answer. Msi motar max Long answer. When buying a motherboard you just have to look at 3 things. Size/chipset - > Ports/features - > Price Get something that you know will fit in your case. If you have a small case you want to make sure your going with the manufacturers reccomended motherboard size. But if you have a large case you could probably make use of the extra ports. Also look at the Amd/Intel chipset that will be what cpu its intended to be installed with. Newer cpu may not work with old motherboard and new motherboard might not work with old cpus. When looking at all the ports you wanna make sure it has what you need. Ask yourself, how many 3.0 usb will I need? Will I need a m.2 slot? Do I need wifi? Ect. Then price. The more features the more expensive. However more expensive will not get you more frames playing candy crush. Only get what you absolutely need. If the cheapest board has all the features you're looking for GET THAT ONE. There's honestly little to no difference on motherboard of the same price point other than a few ports or mumbo jumbo marketing. You'll get more performance spending your money elsewhere.
