Greetings, I am building my first PC and decided to go for an i5 8600K. My doubts lie in the selection of the motherboard as there is too much to keep track of and I have to check what is available here (I live in Argentina). My GPU will be a 1060 6GB, possibly the Gigabyte Windforce OC.
I hate needing more USB ports than I have, so that is an important point in the selection of the motherboard. On-board WiFi would be nice but not really a priority. You should also know that I'll overclock to some extent, but nothing too risky.
The Z370 boards I could find here are:
- ASUS Prime Z370-P ($200)
- ASUS Prime Z370-A ($250)
- ASUS ROG Strix Z370-E ($310)
- ASUS ROG Strix Z370-H ($250)
- ASUS ROG Strix Z370-F ($250)
- ASUS Z370 TUF Pro Gaming ($240)
- ASUS Z370 TUF Plus Gaming ($200)
- Gigabyte Z370 Aorus Gaming 3 ($260)
- Gigabyte Z370 Aorus Ultra Gaming ($280)
- Gigabyte Z370 HD3P ($210)
I didn't expect to spend much on the motherboard, so I'm looking for the cheaper option that will get me the features I need. The RGB bling and all is also not important but as my case will be glass-sided, would be nice to have.
What are your recommendations or comments? Thanks for any help in advance.
