I'm moving to upgrade my current system. I had gotten an I5-8600K for Christmas even though I meant it as a joke when I asked for a new pc. I have been waiting awhile for the EVGA Classified K to come out, but I'm having second thoughts on it. What is the best Z370 ATX motherboard for moderate gaming with heavy to moderate modding?

The MSI Z370-A has VRM's which are quite poor.

I changed the list to accommodate for a better board:

One big problem i had with that board was the unusable io ports. I wont use the DVI or the P/S port. That one of the reasons i went with the Classified K

Aye the H5 is better. But if I wanted more OC potential an AIO cooler would be better. On the motherboard side, I hate HATE seeing ports I won't use for some reason. I won't be using any DVI, VGA, or P/S ports. That's why I abandoned the ASUS fanboy train in favor of practicality. Plus the classified k has enough fan plugs for if i wanted to max out my case
