I will be overclocking, using M.2 storage, like sound quality and is primarily for gaming.

Should I get the:

Asus ROG Strix Z370-F (The one without AC WiFi)

or

MSI Z370 Gaming M5

 

Also please check out the full build here:

Why are you getting such expensive parts? A $650 1070? A $150 250gb SSD? A $230 set of 16 GB of ram? A 200 dollar liquid cooler? A 150 dollar PSU? Thats 1700 dollars for what should cost half that price.

Case: InWin 303 Motherboard: Asus TUF X570-Plus Processor: Ryzen R9-3900x GPU: Gigabyte RTX 3070 Ram: 32 GB DDR4 3000 MHZ

 PSU: Corsair CX750M Storage: 1TB Intel 660p NVME SSD and a 2TB Seagate 7200RPM HDD Mouse: Logitech G600 Keyboard: Razer Blackwidow Ultimate 2014 Headphones: Steelseries Arctis 7 Audio: Shure PGA58 with a Focusrite Scarlett Solo 3rd Gen

I'm with you there. I see why he went with the ram, but he could go with a Corsair h110i, a cx550 and a 1080ti for about the same price

I just tried to piece something together on there, it seems that Australia has really high prices on graphics cards. All the 1080ti were over a grand

Perhaps it's because he lives in a land called Australia, where the prices aren't a direct reflection of the ones in the US.

'Fanboyism is stupid' - someone on this forum.

Be nice to each other boys and girls. And don't cheap out on a power supply.

If you are into overclocking and the Asus z370 boards allow for per-core voltage control like their x299 boards do, I would go for the Asus.  It is a nice feature I wish I had on my Gigabyte.

i9-9900k @ 5.1GHz || EVGA 3080 ti FTW3 EK Cooled || EVGA z390 Dark || G.Skill TridentZ 32gb 4000MHz C16

 970 Pro 1tb || 860 Evo 2tb || BeQuiet Dark Base Pro 900 || EVGA P2 1200w || AOC Agon AG352UCG

Cooled by: Heatkiller || Hardware Labs || Bitspower || Noctua || EKWB
