Sooooo, after hours and hours and many many days and weeks of research i finally decided to go with the asus rog strix oc 1070. Now the question is: which motherboard to pick? I was thinking of asus z170 Pro gaming/aura (The rgb lights)... It's 156$ on pcpartpicker.com ....

I picked the Asus z170-a and like it. Nearly got the Asus Aura board you are looking at, but it really wasn't much different than the z170-a. It also depends if you care about the overall atheistic. I was going to go with a gigabyte board, but it was red and didn't match the rest of my build.

It really depends on what you are into. Honestly, most Z170 are the same. Do you plan on overclocking? Are you looking for other features? It all depends. I have a Gigabyte z170, and I love it, got it on sale for $115 (was $135). ASUS, MSI, Gigabyte are your top brands. Again, it's totally up to you.

Asking for the best motherboard, is like asking for the best case, many people will give you multiple opinions.
