So I'm going to buy a motherboard, and I'm planning to use the i5 8600k. I found 2 good ones, but need help picking one of them. It's either Asus Rog Strix Z370-F Gaming or Asus Prime Z370-A, I'm also open to other suggestions.

Is there for any particular reason you would pick that one over the other?

Personally I would go with the ROG Mobo, but just because I like the looks of it

 

 

It mostly comes down to what you think looks the best

It's an overall solid motherboard that isn't priced through the roof.
