I have a i5 6600K and im looking for a good motherboard with a decent price,while i was looking over motherboards i noticed that the Z270 mobos had more ports on some occasions and better pricing.Are they compatible with a 6600K? though they are the same sockets for some reason im quite paranoid on choosing a z270 mobo

The Z270 board has more rear I/O, but I stuck the Asrock board there as an option if you wanted something nicer looking and with more power phases for better CPU OCing. Up to you whether you prioritize more rear USB connections and Type C or overclocking.

i appreciate the suggestion but the thing is that in my country this costs a lot more and ordering it from abroad will get me a huge fee
i was going GA-Z270-HD3P it seems to have some good features and im also in a moderate budget

An interesting choice,can you tell me what makes it better than the mobo i showed you? or what makes it worth its price?
i always thought that mobos with flashy colors always compesated for something

They seem to have identical ports,seeing the features both seem to be very good,which one would go with? i don't want to fuck this up and regret it. i can easily buy the asrock one my budget is 130 euro and thanks in advance for your help
 
Whichever one you prefer the look of it really comes down to tbh, they're both fantastic.
I personally would go for the AsRock since it's better for OCing, and I'd rather more stable performance over the ports since I don't heavily use more than 2-4 USB devices, but if you're a creator you might have different priorities.
