I've been looking around for a motherboard and i can't decide which one i want. I was looking at the ASRock Z270 KILLER SLI/AC LGA 1151 and the ASRock Fatal1ty Z270 GAMING K4 LGA 1151 Intel I'm not sure which one would be better. I'm looking for a motherboard thats around the price range of 130-150. I'll be mostly just gaming with this computer. This is the build its going into https://pcpartpicker.com/list/nJjP9W Any help is appreciated, Thanks in advance
Which motherboard should i get?

Hey! First, a few things I personally would change about the build.
-120mm air cooler is more reliable than an AIO, and the performance sacrifice isn't very notable. An AIO is air cooling in a different way, basically. My reason for stating this ; look up AIO water cooler leak. They're everywhere, and leaks don't look / treat components well.
-You shouldn't get a NEX. Good unit, but the caps are craps. G2 is better, G3 is amazing.
Secondly, those boards are both good, actually. The only notable difference I see is the fatal1ty doesn't support SLI, but you're going with AMD so it shouldn't matter too much. Choose the more preffered one for looks.

Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO
Cryorig H7 (would recommend if you're keeping costs down)
Be quiet pure rock
Be Quiet Dark Rock 3
Be Quiet Dark Rock Pro 3 (one of my personal favorites in high budget category)
Noctua NH-U14, D14 (these are good but most expensive
Cryorig R1 Ultimate
Be aware some might not fit in your case, I forgot to check. I think most of these do.
