Hi.
Finally settled on a build after a month or two of searching and saving, save for one part; the motherboard. The announcement that the 8700k's were gonna run on the Z370s threw me, and so I'm wondering if there's a consensus yet among those who managed to pick up 8700k's as to which motherboard seems to be the best choice.
This is what I have so far:
PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant
CPU: Intel - Core i7-8700K 3.7GHz 6-Core Processor (£379.90 @ Alza)
CPU Cooler: Noctua - NH-D15 82.5 CFM CPU Cooler (£75.99 @ CCL Computers)
Motherboard: ?
Memory: Corsair - Vengeance LPX 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-3000 Memory (£163.20 @ Aria PC)
Storage: Samsung - 850 EVO-Series 250GB 2.5" Solid State Drive (£86.98 @ BT Shop)
Video Card: Gigabyte - GeForce GTX 1080 8GB WINDFORCE OC 8G Video Card (£491.99 @ Aria PC)
Case: Fractal Design - Define R5 Blackout Edition w/ Window ATX Mid Tower Case (£98.37 @ Ebuyer)
Power Supply: Corsair - 850W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply (£136.34 @ BT Shop)
If you have time, let me know what you'd choose for a motherboard to match this build (I will of course be overclocking the CPU) the budget is £180 for the motherboard.
Thanks everybody.
