This is the basic system I'm wanting to build. Its pretty straight forward w/ the non-oc cpu. I chose i7 because I do a lot of stuff in background plus gaming.

i7 7700 Kaby Lake
a single GTX 1060 OC GPU
16 GB ddr4
Samsung Evo solid states


I'm having a hard time selecting a mobo to use. I like MSI. Not an Asus fan at all. (The only build that I experienced trouble was with an Asus board) My current build is an Asrock and its been ok.

Considering:
MSI Z270-A PRO
or
MSI Z270 GAMING M3 LGA 1151
or
ASRock Fatal1ty Z270 Gaming K6

I'm open for any suggestions you guys may have for optimal performance with a reasonable price.

Thanks

I personally use Gigabyte and AsRock boards and haven't had problems at all.

I used to use Asus years back (when Abit used to be around), but they're overpriced for what they are imo. I also used to use a MSI board (when they still called themselves Micro Star International and not abbreviated) and it was a very cheap board. I have heard their quality has improved quite a bit over the years and they get a fair amount of praise so I have no problems recommending the brand at this point.

Any of the 3 boards you have listed should be fine. The biggest thing to decide is cost vs. features and to check for any reviews of them.

B250 or H270 based mobo


No point in a Z series with a non K cpu
