Gigabyte H610M priced at $120, Biostar B660 at $90, my concern is whether the Biostar B660 fits well with your setup of i3 12100F and GT710.

Biostar is certainly a cost-effective option for motherboards, though with this setup you probably won’t face any power delivery problems (the i3 requires minimal power, and the GPU even less). The main consideration would be upgradability. If you intend to replace it with a more powerful CPU or GPU later, opting for a more robust board now could save you hassle later. However, if you plan to stick with this configuration for some time, the Biostar should work perfectly.

I could possibly upgrade to an i5 12400F and a GTX 1660 later. Will the Biostar B660 suffice for those specifications then?
