Hello,

I am in the market for building a new skyline PC. My previous build I have used a gigabyte motherboard and I have been loving it. I have seen some reviews on the gigabyte gaming 7; some of them seem positive, but a lot have reported an onboard sound issue that is preventing me from buying this motherboard.

I just wanted to ask if anyone has had any firsthand experience with this sound issue and if it is a deal breaker.

I was also looking at the asus z170s TUF and it looks pretty cool (although on the cheaper side for TUF boards) and I have noticed some things that they had to compromise to put it in the price range it is now. I just was wondering if anyone had any feedback on this board as well.

Also the EVGA z170 classified k struck my interest because of the color scheme and because EVGA makes quality products. I know this board lacks some features, but I wanted to know if it is good choice.

I am looking into some medium overclocking with a 6700k, and I would like the board to last a while, with good quality components.

Any other suggestions are welcome besides these three.
