Hello,

I am planning to get the new Intel I7-8700 CPU. I already have the following
Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1080 WINDFORCE OC, 8GB GDDR5X, 256-bit
Corsair RM650x, 80 PLUS GOLD, 650W, ventilator de 135 mm
HyperX Predator Black 16GB DDR4 3000Mhz (HX430C15PB3K2/16) dual kit.
HDD WD Blue 1TB, 7200rpm, 64MB cache, SATA III.

I can choose one of this, but i am open to other suggestions too.

GIGABYTE GA-Z370-HD3
MSI Z370 PC PRO
MSI Z370 Tomahawk

Should i get the Gigabyte motherboard because my GPU is also from Gigabyte ?

Thank you.

I would get the Gigabyte mobo because they are a better quality.

BUT, i would wait for a Locked Mobo for you CPU becasue it would be a waste of money to get a Z370 mobo and not overclock.

I would get a 8700k with those mobos.

Nah, they will show up.

8th gen was rushed to release because of Ryzen.

You got to give it time.
