and pretty much this, you can't think a 'more expensive' mobo will give you more actual throughput... can you? The only thing you're paying extra for is more expansion slots and maybe beefier vrms which only matter for overclocking. Possibly better build quality too but 90% of the price difference is going to be expansion slots. So if all your hardware fits into that mobo you don't need a different one.
