GPU: Zotac GeForce GTX 1080 AMP Extreme

RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX Black DDR4 3000MHz 2x8GB

PSU: Corsair CX650M 650W

Thanks in advance

Since you have selected z370 boards, it can be assumed that you are going with the new gen. 8600k. As of now, these boards along with the processor has been recently launched and not all the boards have been tested yet.

The ASRock Killer SLI board looks good amongst them... https://us.hardware.info/comparisontable/products/412798-413727-413734-413130-413754-413728
But Asus boards generally have higher QC standards and all the essential features. I would go with either of them.

Thanks guys, still lost on the whole MOBO area.
Only MOBOs I could find in the same price range are these

Asrock Z370 Pro4
Asrock Z370 Killer SLI
MSI Z370I Gaming Pro Carbon AC
MSI Z370 Gaming Plus
ASUS Prime Z370-P
Gigabyte Z370 HD3 (Rev. 1.0)

I have no idea what to pick in this category :/
