[Amtronics]

 

Hello,

 

I want to built workstation with following specs:

 

CPU: Core i7-7700K

RAM: 16GB DDR4

Storage: 1TB SSHD, 500GB SSD

OS: Windows and Ubuntu

Monitor: 24"Full HD

 

Please guide me for selecting best suitable motherboard for my application.

 

My application is

1) Programming C,JAVA

2) PCB Design (CAD)

3) Will run Virtual box or VM ware to run Linux,MAC..etc.

 

I have figure out few Asus P10S WS and Z270-WS motherboard with intel C236 and Z270 chipset respectively.

 

Which chipset is more suitable for my application?

 

Is P10S WS motherboard is good choice for core i7-7700K?

A Ryzen CPU may be a good fit for you. What is your budget?

Ryzen R7 1700 over i7-7700K since you're doing a lot of workstation tasks.  ASUS Prime board is a good value around $160ish.  Add a decent cooler to it and far as the cooler will allow.
