Best Motherboards for $100-$200, April 2013

A quick look at the motherboard market and there is plenty to choose from under the $200 mark from both Intel and AMD. For Intel this marks the mid range Z77, whereas we can cover the whole of FM2 with AMD. Below $100 of course we get to the cheap-as-chips range of products, whereby selection can be purely based on what features (HDMI, PCI, two PCIe slots) are on the board.

The cheaper a board is, unfortunately, the less likely we are to review it. The sad truth is that motherboard manufacturers want to put their best foot first, which means driving attention to the top of the range, giving their products the best possible light (even if my analysis leaves it dead in the water in the face of competition). Luckily there have been a good number of boards in the $100 to $200 range that have passed my eyes in the past year, and here are some of the best.
