Motherboard and gpu sync

-_ThatGuy_-

I want to upgrade my i5 7400 to a i5 10600k and with a new motherboard. I'd prefer one from aorus since my gpu is from gigabyte and I would probably have the sync option if i'd get a aorus motherboard. But is it worth getting an aorus one instead of msi or something else? Can i still sync the rgb if the motherboard is msi or a different brand other than aorus? (specs: gtx 1660 gaming oc windforce edition, i5 7400, 8gb ddr4 ram 2400mhz but my current motherboard msi h110m pro-vd supports only 2133mhz)

Brand isn't quality.

What aorus board? And can you wait for zen 3?

454 euros. And it's not about the brand, i just asked and it was about the sync capabilities  . z490 aorus elite ac. And no I can't wait for zen 3 because the guy who builds my pc and everyone i know does not recommend amd at all. And I saw that i5 10600k is the best choice atm @TofuHaroto

And you assumed they're right?

May I ask why?

Yes, because one of them is an official expert builder etc that has his own company.

That doesn't mean he's always right. 

Why does he say that? Waiting for zen 3 right now is the most logical thing to do.

board+ cpu

Well to answer your question. 

The elite is basically a vision G with different looks. Not a bad board by any means. 

I wouldn't care about the rgb sync and go with an outright amazing board like the tomahawk which uses 12 in pairs so 6 60A/55A power stages and is ever so slightly better than the elite. 

Though I would still wait for the zen 3.

Tomahawk z490? @TofuHaroto + the elite ac looks better

It's ever so slightly worse. 

Not a bad board just better things can be had for around the same price..

Technically it's not. Looks are subjective though.

The PS2 connector? Doesn't hurt to have it.

Does type c help with anything?

If you have a type c device then yes. 

As I said. They are relatively close to each other. So the elite really isn't bad. But I still suggest waiting for zen 3.
