Hello all...so i read the review on the asrock x370 Taichi...and seemed pretty impressed with it for the price value. Current board I run in my build now is an asrock and have had no issues with it. So I've been trying to decide between 4 boards one being the asus prime x370-pro...but I'm a little skeptical on that one, while the others being the Asus ROG Crosshair hero, of course the Asrock Taichi and the Asrock Fatal1ty x370 professional.

I don't really have any other components picked out other then I have a case that's waiting to be filled, probably will be a EVGA PSU 1000-1300 Watt, and most likely going to be going with 1700 due to the price and overclocking it can be on par with the 1800x from what I've read. The one thing that catches my eye with the fatal1ty board is the what looks like two different LAN speeds. And the Taiachi has similar ram speeds to the Asus hero. Feel free to leave as much opinions as you want.
 
I think you are overthinking it and spending too much money are you going SLI or something with that 1000-1300 watt power supply (even for sli 850 is enough) if not you mind as well get 550 watt and the cheaper b350 board LAN speed i would not even worry about it they will all be gig ports.

I will most likely be going sli, unless I decide to upgrade from my 970s currently I have two 970s. I believe when I used the wattage calculator was calling for around a 850-1000 that washe including with an overclock but that was for my current build.
 


For SLI 850 would be plenty even with overclock.
