Which Z370 Should I Go For?

[liam807]

So I'm wondering which motherboard I should choose for the new coffee lake processors. I'm getting the i5 8400 so at the moment, I might upgrade later, I won't need to do much overclocking and I'm mostly going to use wifi so I'm probably going to get an adapter if I don't use a motherboard. Last, I think that I might upgrade to a 1070 later and might use SLI so that might be nice. Overall, the motherboards I'm thinking of are this

2:https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813144109&ignorebbr=1
3: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813144108&ignorebbr=1
 

Thanks for the help!

What makes them better than MSI?

I don't have a problem with MSI, I just prefer the quality of Gigabyte boards. Not to mention their M.2 slots run at twice the normal M.2 speed...

I've had bad experiences with MSI boards, Personally I'd go asus (I'm probably getting this one https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813119035&cm_re=z370-_-13-119-035-_-Product) but from what I hear gigabyte is pretty good too

me too prefer gigabyte but i would choose a higher model. probably arous z370 ultra gaming atleast but not that entry level one. example this

Their website says so. I'll check in after I get an upgrade and find out if it's true

The one that Fardin suggested comes with a wifi card free (https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813145037&cm_re=z370_aorus-_-13-145-037-_-Product)

If you're dropping $170 on a Z370 motherboard, I highly, highly suggest getting either the ASRock Z370 Extreme4 or the ASRock Fatal1ty Z370 Gaming K6 instead. Much better VRM configurations and heatsinks than the ones you've listed above.
