So I have just a few questions. I am deciding to build my own custom PC and I am going to purchase the Z270, my 2 questions are this: Should I get a WiFi adapter for the system or is the on-board one good enough as it is? And also is OutletPC a trustworthy and reliable place to order this piece of hardware from? Thank You for your time. Here is the link to the motherboard -> https://www.outletpc.com/zz5181-asus-rog-strix-z270e-gaming-motherboard.html?utm_source=zz5181-asus-rog-strix-z270e-gaming-motherboard&utm_medium=shopping%2Bengine&utm_campaign=pcpartpicker&utm_content=Asus%2B-%2BMotherboards%20%3E%20Intel%20LGA1151 And here is one to the PC i am building, if you have any input as to compatibility issues not listed on the PCpartpicker list found here -> https://pcpartpicker.com/list/FChvgL then please let me know ASAP. Thank you for your time! ~Thekilla2659

Beats your performance for a lower price. Also removes outlet pc off the list except the OS.
I would not buy a reference video card and the GTX 1070ti is a good increase in performance.

Hey, I remember you helping me with my PSU selection a few months ago! Just thought i'd let you know i settled with the corsair cx450m due to its size and the availability at the time, and it works great! Thank you for that suggestion and help with this too! One thing i liked about the other motherboard was the color scheme, mainly how it looked sharp and amazing (to me at least). So to make up for that does this make up for the performance aspect of it and does it have all the same, or at least comparable, features, such as the easy install tool for your CPU and the LED things on the MoBo that help you troubleshoot your components? And also, whats a reference card and whats the problem with one of them? I've never heard that term used either so i was just curious, I also plan on streaming games with this computer, will the 650w PSU be able to handle everything under high loads without heating up a lot?
