Hi there, I too have nearly same config as mentioned buy thread initiator, bastysarao. I just wanna ask if Asus ROG Strix Z370-E is better than or equals to Asus Z370 TUF Gaming Pro.
Please suggest me the best one for gaming, I just wanna gaming, nothing else. I'd better to save some bucks if Asus ROG Strix Z370-A isn't making that much difference in performance while gaming..

Thanks
