Gigabyte G1.Sniper Z87: gaming motherboard with high-quality sound

Conclusion

Gigabyte G1.Sniper Z87 can be defined as a basic gaming motherboard that does not aspire to offer a wide range of equipment in all aspects and the best components but, instead of that, it is specialized. In particular, it focuses on high quality sound, originally by Creative, the network solution Killer E2201 with prioritization for network operations suitable for games, and, also, it will not make a draught in your wallet (surely not so much as G1.Sniper 5, which is ca three times more expensive).
As far as other aspects are concerned, G1.Sniper relies basically on the possibilities offered by its chipset Intel Z87 and does not offer the most advanced technology Ultra Durable. Nevertheless, most users will not care anyway. They should appreciate its high-quality sound with powerful output even for big headphones, the possibility to replace the operating amplifier, appealing design and clear arrangement of components, whilst the offered connectors, ports and interfaces in general will be satisfactory for most game PC sets. And if not, there are other motherboards, but they will very probably be significantly more costly.

Pros + High-quality powerful sound by Creative + Possibility to replace the operating amplifier + Game network card Killer E2201 + Reasonable price

Cons - Just the basic offer of interfaces of the Z87 chipset

The price at the time of testing: ca CZK 3,500, including VAT
