I'm buying some piece right now, i see alot of option for the mother board here. What's the main difference bettwen each mother board selected for your build suggestion ?

I saw those 4 were suggested, so i'm kinda lost in what to do

They are essentially all higher end boards with great VRM's. Of those the Gaming Plus is the least impressive, then Steel Legend, Tomahawk is probably a close second to the AORUS Ultra (they are both very nice, it's hard to say for certain).

 

X470 Aorus Ultra - Gaming ass board. Looks awesome and performs awesome.

B450 Tomahawk - Performs awesome and looks a little less awesome than the Aorus

B450 Steel Legend - Pretty dang good at a lower price. Looks great and has full RGB.

X470 Gaming Plus - Fairly entry level X470. It's bested by plenty of cheaper boards.

 

 

EDIT: Sorry! Didn't see there was a whole other page!

I am done looking guys ! I finally decide to buy a used system ( i really think i got a nice deal, let me know what u guys think ! ) 
Case : Corsair Crystal 460x

Cpu : I8700x

CPU cooler : NH-U14S 140mm from noctua 

GPU : Msi gtx 1080 oc edition 

Motherboard : Rog strix z70g gaming

Ram : corsair vengeance rgb 2x8 gb, 3000 mhz 

500 gb hardrive 

ssd : 250 g from samsung 970 evo m.2

Case fan from : Corsair LL140 rgb x 2 

2k screen monitor with 144 hz and 1ms ( 27 or 24 inch not sure ) 

 

For a grand total off 1300 cad, do u guys think i made a good deal ?

Yeah, if it's all in working condition that's a pretty solid deal! (Without the monitor I'd say you overpaid a bit, but 1440p at 144hz is a nice monitor.)

The system was only 6 months old, i got all the bills and the guarantee for the pieces. I think he paid about 3k like 6 month ago for the bull build.

How can i check the psu health ? 

I finally got the system home yesterday, i had to earase the disk and install the driver, can't wait to try it today !
