I'm building a pretty powerful PC, and I've found a cheap motherboard that has all the ports and features I need. Specifically, I'm looking at the ASUS B860M AYW Gaming WiFi, which is going for just $99. I'm curious if it's worth it to spend on a higher-end motherboard, like the TUF or ROG lines, which are priced at $200 or more. What are the real benefits of those higher-end boards? Who are they designed for, if not someone like me?

Most people agree that you should grab the cheapest motherboard that meets your needs, as long as it has decent VRMs. There’s even a list out there that shows which motherboards pass the VRM quality test. Just choose one that holds up well under stress!
Do you know where I can find that list?
