Which Mobo is better for my build?
So I am making a cheap build for the summer. And I am asking which motherboard is better. It's a comparsion between a Gigabyte MOBO and a Biostar MOBO.

The gigabyte
Ideally you'd want an Asus mobo, but the gigabyte does fine

i don't know what would be better for your build if i don't know what the rest of your build is
it would help if we knew your other specs, at least what cpu you're planning on getting and what you intend to use the computer for
The biostar is cheaper but I hear that gigabyte is a more reliable brand.
