Great mobo for beginner OC?

[Max Cheung]

With my good old laptop receding from the ever more exhausting tasks of my gaming endeavor, I have decided to jump into the world of custom rig building. 

I'm hoping for some mild overclocks on a i5-8600K, any good motherboards for beginners like me? Prefer ATX.
Also I would like to avoid as much RGB as possible. 


thanks in advance.

The higher the tier, the easier it gets. 
I mean seriously.

Wait for the next month's release of 9th gen? get the i7 9700K and an Asus z370/z390 and just enable MCE for 4.9ghz all cores.

Core i5 + any graphics card is pretty balanced, core i7 + mid tier and up is good too. From the looks of you projected goal, you won't be getting something as low as a GTX 1050, but know a 1050 ti or 1060 3gb would be appropriate for the build.

You may not think it important, but cable manage at least a little bit. Just route cables around the case to relevant places, not like my first build, when I just pulled them straight from the PSU to the necessary components.
