Yeah what's the build for? Gaming etc?

 

I have an ASUS Z270G because it seemed like the best bang for buck, had included wifi honestly that was its main selling point along with everything else.

Yep fair enough.

 

What features do you want? Why these guys? During my search (I'm in Australia so prices are all over the shop) didn't seem to really gain me anything for spending more than $300... Using a 1080ti, I mean, you just need 1 16x slot right?

I used the Z270-A and was able to get modest over locks with the 7700k. If you’re not into any extreme over locking or pushing limits, it’s a decent board.
