Motherboard Decision

[Mr_NightRyder]

Stuck between 3 motherboards and need a suggestion on which to run with.

 

(in no particular order)

 

1: Asus Maximus VIII Hero

2: Asus ROG Maximus VIII Formula

3: Asus Z170-Deluxe

 

I would also be open to non-asus motherboards.  Here is the criteria.

 

1: Must be able to do a decent overclock with (will be using a 6700k)

2: Must have a nice appearance

3: Must have U.2 and/or M.2 (haven't decided on the drive yet open to either).

4: Wifi optional but preferred to have onboard available.

5: USB 3.1 and also usb type C

 

Additional Info: Video card is a EVGA 1070 (oc) which I already own.

For asus, you have pretty good motherboards, if you want, I would say to check out the gigabyte designre

If u don't have economic problems then take VIII formula and for M.2 SSD i highly recommend Samsung 950 Pro 512 GB
