Good price, but I can't believe in this day & age that mobo mfr's are still putting PCI slots on mobos.
This board is good pretty much for a graphics card & that's it as far as expandability goes.
PCIe 2.0 x4, good for a NIC or WiFi card but that's about it.

It's kind of like PSU manufacturers still putting floppy disk power connectors on
their power supplies. For that one in 10 million chance that someone will still
be using a FDD. I've never had any need for a PCI slot either so for me it's a
real head scratcher. For a single graphics card or Intel HD4600 build this is still a
great deal on a quality Gigabyte board.

Its a pet hate of mine, manufacturers still coming out with so-called 'pro' boards and they have 2 or 3 old school PCI slots. Why ? I would discount a board completely based on that alone.

At least with Apple they are not afraid to ditch the old stuff and bring onboard newer technologies.
