Motherboard advice

[IrishDunner]

I'm currently doing my first build, I'm going with an i7 8700k and need some advice with what motherboard to get, I was thinking of the asus maximus x hero should I be thinking of any others

there's no benefit in buying such an expensive board other than the name and looks

i suggest getting the Asus Z370-F if you want an all black motherboard and you only trust Asus.

GIGABYTE Z370 AORUS Gaming is another option I like

either ASUS Z370-F or ASUS Z370-A if you don't mind the white  Gigabyte and Asrock also has lots of great looking boards but depends on which brand you prefer, and for ASUS anything above Z370-A (including Z370-A) doesn't have much benefit other than looks, Maximus X Hero has WIFI built in, but other than that there's nothing else, it's not worth it at all to spend an extra 100$ for it.

jesus christ are you always looking for the most expensive motherboard? i mean if you're gonna spend 200$+ for a motherboard then any brand would work fine, just find whatever looks best for you
