it is very good motherboard and comparable with GIGABYTE z170x GAMING 3 and 5 but it is selling in INDIA around 17000 inr ($250)

Yes, the ASUS Z170-A is the best high end Z170 boards out there. Here's a link to one of the retailers.

That would be a good choice too. But, you could save around 30 bucks and put it into things like LEDs or fans. Your choice.

[Samtell]

these are some of the options that the gigabyte mobo has that the asus doesn't have.

Different Audio Codec

Second optional Network Controller

 

I honestly don't know, but if I were to buy it, I would buy the Asus.

But I think you're leaning towards the Gigabyte one because you're the one who found it, and it costs more, so it has more functions.

No i am not leaning to GIGABYTE but i am investing this money after INTEL CORE 2 DUO and i have very tight budget that's why i need to be sure

Comparing the Z170-A to Z170X-Gaming 5, Gigabyte has more features....

Z170-A isn't exactly high end...

if that's the case, a Z170 is not an option

then which chipset mobo should i choose

[KurtB]

Go to the mobo manufacturer's site and look for mobo's that have the correct socket for the cpu you want. this will narrow down your choices.

 

Example:

At Asus, if you want to use the i7 7700K you select socket 1151 and you'll get a list of compatible motherboards. I had to do a lot of homework to decide on what cpu and then the motherboard that would work with what I had in mind. For me I wanted the i7 7700K and the motherboard had to support at least 2 m.2 NVMe SSDs in Raid 0. I don't want to use HDDs moving forward.

I looked at other processors but I can't take advantage of more than 2 cores with the software I use for developing (SQL Server, Visual Studio etc.)

It's all about what you want and what your wallet says you can have.

well you're missing something. A cpu won't just magically be compatible with any motherboard. Either buy a new CPU to go along with the motherboard, or keep using your 10 dollar cpu.
