As the title of this article says, several motherboards recommended in this article are relatively "affordable". Although it is very affordable, it does not mean that the workmanship is poor and the performance is average. On the contrary, these products are low-end "bright spot" products of various manufacturers. I personally think that "value for money" can be defined by these products.
