MotherBoard

[MasterLow]

Hey guys I'm trying to build a gaming pc from scratch but the motherboard is hella expensive and i feel like i could find a cheaper motherboard for a lower price. Right now im looking at 

Asus MAXIMUS VIII HERO ATX LGA1151 Motherboard

and that costs over $400 NZD probably like 280 USD and as i said i think i can find cheaper and on par if not on par with this motherboard P.S i know that i need ddr4 and intel z170 compatible or some something but i dont know why it should be so expensive. i also plan on buying 1 GPU if that helps. SUPER THANKS

did you know that EUR is the more than double the currency of NZD so if anything in that site is 100, its more like 250

If you're looking for rather cheap skylake mobo, which is capable of overclocking, then try asrock z710 extreme4. It's not that expensive, but it's quite good.

AsRock Pro4 and if you aren't to stingy even a.Pro4S could work as well.
