First Rig ever and stuck with which Mobo to buy

Hello everyone, 

I'm building my first rig and as of the moment I've bought most of the parts but lack the Motherboard and SSD.

Processor - Ryzen 7 2700x

Ram - G.Skill Trident Z RGB 3200mhz

GPU - Msi Armor Rx580 

PSU - Silverstone Strider Gold 750

Case - Tecware Verge

Hdd - WDC Black

 

So I'm torn between the Gigabyte Aorus Gaming 7 x470 and Asus rog Crosshair 7 x470, Gigabyte is readily available here in the Philippines but that specific Asus model is 1 month to order. Not in a hurry to finish my build though. Was supposedly going for the gigabyte but I've read that the g.skill rgb doesn't work well on it :( anyone can help me which to choose?

Just grab the Gigabyte Gaming Ultra?

Memory is probably fine

 

Just grab any halfway decent M.2, WD Blue if you need a brand.

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

 

what monitor resolution/refresh rate?

 

What games or other software do you need to run?

Opting to get the Gaming 7 but I guess Gigabyte is the choice of people :)

 

Okay thanks! Will the boot time be less than a minute?

The Ultra Gaming should be a good deal cheaper than the Gaming 7 and it'll still be fine, should look for one of those.
