In need of a good MOBO for this build

Adaman134 · Jan 18, 2017

Hi,
I have been making a PC on PCPARTPICKER and am wondering what mobo I should use for this build. I would prefer if there was no red or yellow on the mobo and only colors like blue, white and black. I am planning to OC.
Also if you have any recommendations for parts I should change let me know!
My current build:

Asus Sabertooth Z170s is nice. The Asrock Z270 extreme4 should be a nice board as well, for a bit less. I would look at Crucial MX300 275gb. They tend to be cheaper, and real world performance wouldn't be noticeable different.

I suggest the krait due to it supports both SLI and crossfire. The higher speed ram will take more advantage of the z170.

Krait boards have had some buggy bios problems, unless they have been recently fixed. I avoided them, myself, because of it.

logainofhades :

any cheaper solutions around $150?
Like this: Motherboard: Asus Z170-E ATX LGA1151 Motherboard ($113.98 @ Newegg)
Or will this one impact performance in any way?

I would consider a 7600k, and a z270 board. The price difference is minor. Made a few other changes, as well.
