Looking for advice on the best motherboard for an 8700K
Looking at moderate overclocks; using a Corsair H100i, hoping for 4.5 or better (contingent on temps of course).
My main system is my gaming rig but also used for work purposes so a faster CPU speed would be beneficial.
I've been looking over various boards and Asus has half a dozen models with very close price deltas that seem virtually identical.
My requirements:
Good network controller - definitely do not need onboard Wifi, do not need dual NIC either
I have a 500GB Sandisk Extreme 2.5" SSD that I recently bought, no need for an M2 slot
Do not need better quality onboard audio as I use a discrete sound card
Price isn't really an issue but If I can get a good board for under $300, that would be ideal.
ATX is fine, MATX would be a bit of an issue as my 1080Ti is triple slot and i have a PCI-e sound card.
I tend to buy Asus boards but open to Gigabyte or MSI assuming they are stellar.
Thanks!
