I originally decide VIII Hero/WS. Look at GB Z170x G7, then ASRock OC Formula, try finding a case that fits the color scheme since I hate black and red. Do research into RAM speeds and benefits. Look into customer support history for each company. 10 hours later, choose the VIII Hero/WS due to the praise it receives on TomsHardware.

I think the VII hero is incredibly overpriced versus something like an ASUS Z170A, it performs the same and will overclock a cpu about the same. If I wanted a high end board I would look at a sabertooth and skip right over that ROG stuff, personally.

You're luck in the silicon lottery is generally whats going to determine how high you can overclock with a certain voltage, most Z170 motherboards will be able to hit 4.8gz assuming the cpu is capable of it without an extreme amount of voltage.
