I am looking for a good motherboard to go with the I5 8600K, i have already got all the other parts as most i had from an older build but was looking to upgrade both my motherboard and processor and the I5 8600K seemed like a great improvement over my I5 6500. I will be using it for gaming and a small portion will be used on office. I am in the UK and am looking for anything around £200

 

Any help would be appreciated.

what cooler will you pair with it? Size requirements? How far do you want to overclock?

I am still looked at a cooler thinking something like bequiet dark rock (pro) 4. 

 

I have an NZXT s340 Mid Tower Case. Space should not be an issue with that cooler it should leave enough room for for RAM. In the sense of overclocking i am not all to bothered with it. The prices did not seem to different from the 8600 from the 8600k. Hence my choice with the 8600K

Looking online line i have saw that the Asus Prime Z370 A to be a good match but i am unsure 

 

make sure to respond to people with the quote button

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

PSU tier list

How many watts do I need?

PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

The Prime Z370-A is an excellent choice, and the Z370-E and Z370-F offer some better OC features and build quality if you want to spend a little more

S340 doesnt have room to fit the Pro 4 cooler, it's too tall. The biggest you can fit is the Scythe Mugen 5 Rev.B, Ninja 4/5, Thermalright Macho Le Grand RT / Rev. B / X2, Silver Arrow IB-E / ITX etc.

 

Z370-A's fine if you don't plan on overclocking higher core count/thread count CPUs.

A Dark Rock 4 (Not the Pro unless you want to get a new case) is good enough for an 8600K

Would you recommend it over the previously stated ones? Scythe Mugen 5 Rev.B, Ninja 4/5, Thermalright Macho Le Grand RT / Rev. B / X2, Silver Arrow IB-E / ITX.
