Which Motherboard

EchoBlue

Looking around mostly with ASUS or MSI for an 1151 socket motherboard. (Intel Core i7-8700)

Some of the features I am looking for 

-M.2 support (I would like to avoid using HDD) Going SSD in any form.

-Wifi built-in

-Just going to go with 1 Nvidia GTX 10xx GPU 

Going to be using onboard sound. I think that is all. 

If there are other brands that are comparable than ASUS or MSI please list them too.

 

Thank you for your help in choosing the right motherboard!

Have  you tried using PC part picker before?

Want to know which mobo to get?

Spoiler

Choose whatever you need. Any more, you're wasting your money. Any less, and you don't get the features you need.

 

Only you know what you need to do with your computer, so nobody's really qualified to answer this question except for you.

Doesn't have built in wifi.

Z370A and a decent WiFi card is still less than a Z370-E
