ATX Motherboards

Make an ATX Motherboard the Heart of Your Build

Starting a new PC or rebuilding an existing one? ATX gives you the room to plan beyond the basics.

Use that extra board space for the parts that matter to your build, whether that means a large graphics card, multiple M.2 SSDs, extra SATA drives, capture hardware or additional expansion cards. The exact layout differs from board to board, so shop the features you know you will use rather than paying for empty specification.

If you want a tighter build, our smaller Micro-ATX options give you another route without automatically giving up mainstream gaming and storage support.

Shop ATX Motherboards for Intel & AMD Processors

Start with the processor, because the wrong socket stops the build before it starts.

Building around Intel? Shop Intel ATX motherboards across LGA1700 and newer LGA1851 platforms. LGA1700 covers 12th, 13th and 14th Gen Intel Core desktop processors, while LGA1851 is used by Intel Core Ultra desktop processors Series 2.

Prefer AMD? Our range covers established AM4 boards alongside newer AM5 ATX motherboard options for Ryzen platforms.

Once you know your processor, narrow the board by socket, chipset and BIOS support. Our Intel-compatible motherboards and AMD-compatible motherboards make it easier to get straight to the right platform.

ATX Gaming Motherboards to Match Your Budget

Spend on the motherboard features your gaming PC will actually use.

Look beyond gaming branding to VRM design and cooling, fan and pump headers, M.2 heatsinks, networking, rear USB connectivity and useful installation features such as BIOS Flashback, debug indicators or tool-free retention systems where provided.

Higher-priced ATX gaming motherboards can give you more connectivity, storage or build features, but the motherboard alone does not guarantee higher frame rates. Put more money into the board when its additional features solve a genuine requirement in your setup.

Make Room for More Storage & Expansion

Planning more than one SSD? Want space for another PCIe card later? This is where ATX can earn its place in the build.

Our range includes boards with different combinations of M.2 slots, SATA ports and PCIe expansion, giving you room to build around fast NVMe storage, additional drives and add-in hardware.

More slots do not always mean every slot can run at full bandwidth at the same time. Some M.2 and PCIe connections share lanes, and a thick graphics card can physically cover neighbouring slots.

If fast local storage is part of the upgrade, pair the board with suitable internal SSD storage while you plan the complete build.

Compare DDR4 & DDR5 Options Before Upgrading

Already have RAM you want to keep? That can make the motherboard decision much easier.

AM4 builds use DDR4, while AM5 moves to DDR5. Intel LGA1700 boards can be available in DDR4 or DDR5 versions depending on the exact model, while LGA1851 is built around DDR5.

A DDR5 ATX motherboard makes sense when you are moving onto a newer platform or starting fresh with compatible memory. DDR4 can still be the practical route when you already own suitable RAM and the platform meets your needs.

Do not buy from the socket name alone. Match the exact memory generation, DIMM capacity and supported configuration before checkout.

Choose the Right Connections for Your Setup

The right motherboard should connect cleanly to everything around your PC.

Need wireless networking? Shop an ATX motherboard with Wi-Fi rather than assuming it comes as standard. The Laptop Outlet range includes wireless and non-wireless boards, with Bluetooth, Ethernet and USB specifications varying between models.

Think about what will actually be plugged in. Look for enough rear USB ports for your peripherals, the Ethernet speed your network can use and the internal headers needed by the front USB and USB-C ports on your case.

That way, the connections you need are ready from day one rather than becoming another upgrade later.

Check ATX Case Fit & Cooling Clearance

Found the board you want? Make sure the rest of the build is ready for it.

Standard ATX boards measure around 305 x 244mm, so your case needs explicit ATX support. Micro-ATX boards are smaller, while E-ATX designs are wider and need additional case space.

Then look beyond the motherboard itself. A large air cooler, radiator, thick graphics card or tight cable route can all affect how comfortably the finished PC comes together.

Match your motherboard with a compatible computer case and build around the space you actually have.

Compare ASUS, MSI, GIGABYTE & ASRock ATX Boards

Buy ATX boards from ASUS, MSI, GIGABYTE and ASRock across Intel and AMD platforms at Laptop Outlet. Our live range covers everything from straightforward PRO and PRIME boards through to gaming-focused TUF, ROG, MAG, MPG and AORUS models.

There is no need to buy by logo alone.

Start with the socket and chipset, then look at the board itself: M.2 capacity, PCIe layout, networking, wireless connectivity, cooling headers, rear I/O, installation features and price.

That gives you a motherboard that fits the build you are actually planning, not simply the most expensive name on the page.
