I was advised to get a Z270 for my build. It includes i7 7700K, GTX 1070, 16 GB Memory.

I want to make sure my build is 'solid', if you get what I mean. I want to be 100% sure everything will work together and it will be relatively easy to build and start up. (New builder). I hope to get the NZXT CA-S340MB-GB - Source 340 Midi-Tower Case.

I am purchasing from Amazon but when I search for Z270, there is whole array of choices and I'm not sure what the difference is. There seems to be a good amount of price difference as well. Should I just go for the cheapest one? Any advice would be helpful.
 
Solution
Things Asus has and Gigabyte not: extra M.2 port, WiFi, Bluetooth, RGB headers (for RGB strips), SPDIF output and SLI capability.

I am using a ASUS ROG MAXIMUS IX APEX and am very happy with it!
It is made for overclocking even with LN2 so there should be no problem...

It even supports ram up to 4266 Mhz
But well it is expensive... so your choice :)
