So I am about to start a new build. I have decided to go with either the 8700k or 8086k. Amazon and newegg both have the evga z370 ftw for $130. Is this mobo quality? Both of my previous builds have used asrock mobos. I am on the fence with the evga and the asrock extreme4. Some friendly advice would be appreciated.

unless you are an overclocking enthusiast, get the 8700k. I use the evga Z370 classified K, the step up from the FTW, and I'm very satisfied, so I recommend it.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

How many watts do I need?
