Help with Mobos

[HardMaster]

Hi , i'm going to build a black/blue themed PC and need help choosing between 2 motherboards :

 

MSI Z170A SLI PLUS VS ASUS Z170-A

 

Notes:

           1# They cost the same (in my country).

            2# I'm going to overclock.

            3# I would like to keep the Black/Blue theme.

from around my personal circle everyone says you can't go wrong with asus mobo, and their uefi is the best i've ever seen, especially for overclocking. so i would say the asus one, if you really want to keep the color scheme you can always paint the heatsinks etc a different colour like linus did with that one video card.

Nice point , i have some experience with ASUS mobos, and from the price/performance point of view the ASUS mobo has way more features.

You don't need a 750W psu, unless you're planning to SLI in the future in w/c case you need to upgrade to an i7 anyway to prevent bottlenecking. The 550W G2 is enough even with overclocking.
