I'm building a new pc with the I7 8700K and I was wondering which motherboard would be best for me?  I've never overclocked before but I might be looking to since I plan on streaming in the future.  I was originally looking at the MSI MPG z390 Gaming Pro Carbon AC but I don't know if it's worth buying a z390 or z370 for me.

The Asus Prime Z370-A is a nice motherboard to pair with the i7-8700K, particularly for medium overclocking.

 

You'll most likely not need Z390, as Z390 is more or less Z370 with better VRMs, built-in Wi-Fi, and support for 9th gen Intel CPUs out of the box.
