So I saw this motherboard discounted on amazon and was wondering if it's a good deal? The reviews seem good but I wanted a 2nd opinion.

That's a pretty good price for that motherboard, yes. As long as it's compatible with your CPU.

I'd go ahead and grab it while it's cheap then. Full price motherboard, for that price, you'd be looking at something like an MSI Z170A SLI or entry level AsRock Z170 motherboard.

I'm not sure if you were asking 13's input specifically but I'd recommend something else, it's good DDR4 RAM but it's quite expensive. For £10-£20 more you could get 16gb It may be the colour you're after, if so, I'd recommend buying a cheaper stick then painting it.

By the way, 8 gb of DDR4 RAM should only cost round £35

or a cheaper DIMM;

Don't buy 4GB DIMMs. Just buy a single 8GB DIMM, or 2x8GB.
