    Thanks to the community for helping a complete novice accomplish something good. I've had ZERO experience building computers before, however, I've been a big computer fan myself, so at least I've been exposed to what it takes to build one.

    -There was no theme. Just no RGB.
    -Already had one 1080p monitor (the one on the right). Purchased a 1440p monitor while on sale for cyber monday. It looks amazing.
    -Didn't need any storage. Had a 1TB and 2TB standard hard drive and a 500gb SSD.

    I'm planning on a build still and I'm questioning motherboard choice.
     
    Budget still ~$1750. Planning on 2080 super.
     
    I was planning on aorus elite since it has the capability of supporting everything I want and it's currently $150.

    I was toying with idea of getting aorus ultra currently priced $199 which is what elite was normally. Looking around I saw the Asus Pro WS x570. Which is $250. Which is what the ultra normally is.
     
    The Pro WS is at the S-Tier for motherboards.
     
    Is it really worth the money to spend if the elite will run everything I need? Or is there benefit to having an S-tier? The elite is currently D-tier. Ultra is currently A-tier. I haven't ever heard of the WS Pro until now.
