Maybe I don't need SLI, bit i would like to have it in black an M.2 slot and 4 fan headers. The motherboard should not be able to overclock, because I'm going for a i7 8700. The motherboard is supposed to be cheaper than a Z370 and still support 8th gen cpu. Or ships I just stick to the Z370?
Thanks for your feedback!
I'm now considering buying an 8700, but I haven't found a good motherboard yet. My requirements are: 4x4 fan headers, SLI for future upgrades, all black no colours, M.2 slot.
Hi,
I'm planning on building a PC for about 1800$. I know it's not the best time to buy a PC but I really need a upgrade. In going to wait for the new graphics cards and probably buy the 1170/2070. The PC is going to be for gaming only. I'm going to play on a 2560x1440 monitor and have two 1920x1080 monitors on each side for browsing. I just want to have your opinion on the build and possible changes.

What do you think about this?
Improvements?
I'm buying the parts in Sweden, but they have 25% taxes, so the prices vary from the ones on pcpartpicker.
