First build

[shodylaw13]

Shopping for my first build, and I've pretty much lined everything out, except I'm having trouble deciding between Asrock taichi x470 and the rog strix x470-f .

 

I like the look and the fact the taichi has wifi (its needed honestly ) but I've heard the bios is crazy bad. I just want to build a nice machine with out losing performance.  Which I feel Is a possibility if I dont go with the strix .

 

 

Here's a shopping list I've compiled on Amazon with both MOBOs of course

Any advice would be appreciated!

 

Thanks

The BIOS, from what I hear, is just fine.. I would get the Taichi, it's the BETTER board and has wifi..

 

For $60 less you can get almost the same thing from Newegg, except the combo only includes the R5 2600 (very similar anyway when overclocked)..

You can check this topic...plenty of opinions.

Ok things have changed I'm buying locally and the salesman I'm working with on my purchase (sometime later this next week) is no longer in stock with the taichi. But he said he had an Ultimate x470 and a crosshair vii hero what do you guys think

Both he will give me for the 187. Same price as the taichi x470
