Hello,

I want to buy a new computer and replace my very old computer. I want a Core I5 7600 processor, 16Gb RAM DDR4, 1060GTX 6Gb GPU. I already have a good SSD (Samsung 850 EVO) so just I need a 1T hard disk.

I saw on some store's site a computer with the following specifications:

Core i5-7600 processor
Gigabyte GA-Z170MX-Gaming 5 LGA1151, Intel Z170 MoBo
HyperX FURY 2x8GB DDR4 2400MHz CL15 Kit
Gigabyte GTX 1060 Mini ITX OC 6GB GDDR5 2xDVI HDMI DP PCI-E

I understand the build is for a mini-ATX computer (not something I'm looking for), and the computer was offered with an Antec P50 case, thus includes a small version of 1060GTX GPU (I guess its performance is about 5% less than the full-size version, but also costs about 5% less, so it's ok).
Problem is, I read bad reviews on Amazon about this MoBo, it probably doesn't support well Kaby Lake processors. What Mobos pair well with Core i5-7600 processor (for about the same price or less)?

p.s - Keep in mind that a mid-tower computer is still my go to option, and I can change the build however I want.

Personally I like Asus, they have some neat little features that help assembly, but that's all. Buy based on featureset, cost and warranty, colour if that matters to you, and stick to gigabyte, msi, asus and asrock (it's difficult not to stick to them).

any intel 200 series will be fine the 100 series were for skylake (6000) and need a bios update to work with kaby lake (7000) series CPU's, but once done they are fine. The probably is that in the supply chain there will be boards that are not updated, and in order to update them you need a skylake (6000) series cpu.

Thanks! Like this one - Gigabyte GA-H270-Gaming 3 LGA1151 ?

It's a bit cheaper. Is there any significant difference between the two ?
