Which motherboard should I choose? They're both the same price, same RAM, same chipset.
I've put my choices down to these to. I have a budget so I'm not going for a Z or X motherboard cause it's too expensive.

Which one?
Gigabyte GA-H270-HD3
or
ASUS PRIME H270 Plus

Personally I've had the best luck with Gigabyte and ASRock motherboards. Looking at prices on other LGA1151 boards I would almost consider spending a bit more and getting the ASRock Z270 KILLER SLI/AC. But both of the boards you are looking at are good choices go with the one you like the look of more.

It comes down to which board has the features you want and after that it is personal preference for the brand. I choose Asus because I have had good luck with them and they have always treated me fairly. Other people swear by Gigabyte or Asrock.

I live in New Zealand so you can't buy the ASRock Z270 KILLER. And most SLI motherboards here are overpriced anyway.
 


Yeah I hear it is painful to buy components in both Australia and New Zealand, I have some guys I play War Thunder with who are from both.

If I buy components off Amazon they'd have a hefty shipping cost to NZ too... If I change my budget I'll look at ASRock too.
