ASUS Z270 PRO GAMING vs MSI Z270 TOMAHAWK

[KreckyN]

Which one is better ?

What is your CPU

[Droidbot]

depends if you're buying 6th gen or 7th gen processors

z170 is forwards compatible but it needs to be updated with a 6th gen cpu to use 7th gen cpus

Asus Z170 Pro Gaming does not allow you to update BIOS without a Skylake cpu if you wish to use an i7 7700k

 

MSI Z270 Tomahawk will support Kaby Lake out of the box

 

So you need to tell us which CPU are you using

Oh, so should i upgrade my z170 to z270  and buy a 7700k ? or should i just keep my z170 and go for a i7 6700k, is there actually a big difference ?

Update it (find the bios update tool on their website)

You should be able to use 7700k in z170 no problemo

Why upgrade so early?

 

If you still decide to upgrade, keep that board and use the 6600k to download the bios update which enables kaby lake comparability.

Ah, okay. I'd say stay with it, the Tomahawk is a mid range board
