Hi. I'm planning a build with a 2700x, and was wondering what motherboard you guys would recommend. I'm currently trying to stick within bundle deals from my local microcenter, but other input would also be very appreciated. So, would you recommend the Asrock x470 Taichi, or the Asus x470 f?

they're both good boards, so at this point its honestly just preference and price. Usually ASUS products are more expensive solely because of the name, so whichever is cheaper for you I would get 

PC: CPU: i5-9600k - CPU Cooler: be quiet! Dark Rock Pro 4 - GPU: Sapphire Radeon RX 5700 XT 8GB GDDR6 - Motherboard: ASRock - Z370 Extreme4 - RAM: Team - T-Force Delta RGB 16 GB DDR4-3000 - PSU: Corsair - TXM Gold 550 W 80+ Gold Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply - Case: Thermaltake - Core G21 TG

Both good motherboards. Pick the one you like most.

80+ ratings certify electrical efficiency. Not quality.

Ok, thanks for the input. I think I might go for the asrock as its nicer looking and the VRMs are supposed to be better.

try to find Asus X470-Pro, it's gonna be a X470-F but simpler and maybe some features are cut off but cheaper

-Frequencies DON'T represent everything and in many cases that is true (referring to Individual CPU Clocks).

 

Mention me if you want to summon me sooner or later

My head on 2019 :

Note 10, S10, Samsung becomes Apple, Zen 2, 3700X, Renegade X lol
