Hi guys,
Im looking at building an all white gaming rig and need a white board for it.
I live in Australia so the prices here are a bit different for these motherboards so if i was to get the sabertooth one, its cheaper for me to buy it from newegg to ship to aus lol.
The prices i have worked out including shipping are:
z170-ar - $243
sabertooth s - $267

Dont ask how i got those prices but they are correct for me because i had to account for shipping minus newegg bundle discounts etc.
So yeah, i'm wondering if its worth it to get the sabertooth as it looks better in the build id imagine but on the other hand is coming from overseas which might not be a good idea.
If i was to get the sabertooth s in aus its $349 which is a rip off.
I also am getting an i7-6700k for this.
Any help on what i should choose would be great thanks,
-Calvin

Only ALC 1150 ?
That's the best of the two audio codec's apparently.

I think the looks of the sabertooth s board is worth $24 as it suits my white schemed build.
It does only support DDR4 2400 which is annoying but i think still worth it as memory speed doesn't really effect gaming all that much.

yes, spec only this is better. if you only like asus , you can choose AR.
but I think Z170A SLI is good choose, too.
