Z370 board for 8350k oc

Heyyyyy, what z370 board should I buy for overclocking an 8350k? A good board with good enough vrms. Budget is around 200-150 dollars. I mainly play cs go and I don't have any plans for streaming, that's why I chose the 8350k. Resolution @ 1080p 144hz 

 

 

Edit: I am also open to cpu + motherboard combos that will benefit me more either overclocking, more cores, and budget friendly with the same performance and price as an 8350k oc'ed with a z370 board and aio cooler.

any site to check? It's hard to recommend things solely because of the sheer number of options and prices fluctuate. Gigabyte makes plenty of crappy boards (should be B360 boards, but released in the time when the market wants cheap boards for locked CPUs but Intel hadnt released B and H chipsets yet). Asus makes cheap stuff, then sell them at high prices so they arent my go-to brand either.

Wdym by site bro? A ph site? If ph site dynaquestpc is the one. I'm just confused on which board to get though, z370 but by asrock, gigabyte, asus prime, and msi. They all go around 10000 pesos like 200 dollars

yeah, whatever site you will be buying from

 

Seems like the MSI Z370 SLI Plus is the best deal. If you want WiFi, get the Gigabyte Z370 Aorus ultra gaming WiFi.

 

Things are really complicated because the same brand produce good and bad boards then sell them at the same time. Also, high prices can break a deal.

Alright bro. I use dynaquestpc as the place where I choose the parts then I buy on Facebook, PC hub esports gaming. They include shipping there already. Anyways, thank you. Manufacturers can really fool their customers xdd
