Which one

I know Kabylake is almost dead at this point except for budget end but my next build I would like to have a nice build and there is a nice Z270 board that I know that I could use but again Ryzen is better for content creation 

AM4 boards

   GIGABYTE GA-AX370-Gaming K3

   GIGABYTE GA-AX370-Gaming K5

   MSI X370 GAMING PRO CARBON

Z270 boards 

   MSI Z270 GAMING PRO CARBON

   GIGABYTE GA-Z270X-DESIGNARE (The board I like and might go for)

I probably will do SLI later because I will continue to use this next rig for years on end but I would like to know which board is best and I also like the green of these cables Thermaltake AC-034-CN1NAN-A1

It may depend on what you like ascetically and the different features. Since you are doing content creation, I would highly recommend going with Ryzen. I've looked at these boards myself. Personally, I would go with the K5 or Pro Carbon.

Yeah but I really like the Gigabyte Z270 board a lot because I could do an ace themed PC other wise I could go black and green with those cables I like

Yeah I may go water cooling and since EKWB released a new blue die that would go nice with the Gigabyte Designare

The cables are just extentions for your psu, they won't make a difference between which psu you get.

I was never calling you one. I was simply stating that, since it seemed like you could only pair the cables with the one motherboard.

You can choose a colour to set them to. If there is a colour theme you want there is nothing stopping you.
