Posted October 31, 2014 If you ever plan on going SLI i'd suggest any of these...the extra features of the gaming motherboard are mostly gimmicks (i know i own one) the G55 sli will do the job just fine as long as you can deal with a black and blue board...it's mostly about looks i would say...the gaming board has better audio chips but you won,t notice the difference playing video games and MP3's...you'd have to have high quality headphones and uncompressed audio and music files to feal the difference. so, if you are happy with the look of the G55 SLI that's what i would recommend...if you don't plan on going with SLI down the road i'd suggest even cheaper: the MSI H97 PC mate | CPU: Core i7-8700K @ 4.89ghz - 1.21v | Motherboard: Asus ROG STRIX Z370-E GAMING | CPU Cooler: Corsair H100i V2 | | GPU: MSI RTX 3080Ti Ventus 3X OC | RAM: 32GB T-Force Delta RGB 3066mhz | | Displays: Acer Predator XB270HU 1440p Gsync 144hz IPS Gaming monitor | Oculus Quest 2 VR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
