I'm upgrading to a i5 8400 and I'm wondering what the best brand for an ITX board is. Built in wifi would be nice, but not too important. Overclocking isn't a priority either.

Has WiFi. Right now, only motherboards available are the Z370's, which all allow for Overclocking.

You need DDR4 RAM for this motherboard.

How is the BIOS? (Compared to MSI)
 
Better! The Asus motherboard not only have better bios but it also better in terms of hardware reliability.
I build a mini ITX pc for a customer using the Fatal1ty and he was pretty happy. But he wanted to overclock as well, so thats why I recommended the Fatal1ty.
 


What's the difference between the Fatal1ty and the Asus ROG? They are almost the same price.
