CPU+Mobo

Hi guys,

I want some opinions as to which motherboards go well with an i5-8600k and an R5 2600x. (The 2 cpu I'm thinking of atm)

Mostly for gaming but also need to do some work on it as well. (May dabble in some editing in the future).

 

If the motherboard has wifi and bluetooth as well that'll be great. (Not necessary though, if the board doesn't have built in wifi+bluetooth please recommend a good alternative)

Also I'd like a board that has good future proofing; so if say 3-4 years down the line I may want to upgrade to an 9th gen intel CPU (Hopefully by then it'll be dirt cheap) or a 3rd gen Ryzen CPU.

Of course there will be better things by then but if I'm on a tight budget then I'd go for 9th gen intel/3rd gen Ryzen.

 

Thanks in advance!

In USD it'll probably be 1750-2000(For a new build that will last at least 5 years).

I'm from the south pacific so I may buy the stuff from pbtech.com or amazon depending on availability and pricing.

 

I went ahead and picked some parts (randomly) from pbtech you can take a look at the pdf I attached. Any changes I should do for best compatibility with the components?
