Hello everyone,

I am about to build myself a PC but I am stuck at the Mobo selection step, everything else is selected. I am thinking about the z170 pro gaming since it fits into my red-black theme.

any help is welcome :)

Srry man but it is said to be one of the worst z170 mobos.

Admirable
The motherboard has only a very small effect on the performance of your PC.
The more you spend, the more features and connectivity you get, but most people don't need or use all the features on an expensive mobo.
I prefer ASUS or Gigabyte.
Start by looking at a h170 mobo, and work your way up until you get the spec you need.
