Help me chossing z170 mobos.

[Tommynew]

I got a few candidates, every one with its pros and cons.

Asus A 143 euro.
MSI A Krait Edition r6 edition 164-25 (MSI cashback) = 139 + game (meh)
Asrock Extreme 4 (Non, suddenly it ran out of stock everywhere, maybe it even comes out? :S)

So basically is asus a vs krait a.

I think asus a is a best quality mobo, dont know, but i saw some weird things in some benchmarks, and people says that it looks "cheap" xd.

Krait Edition looks cool, and it comes with a game (maybe i could sell it idk) but im worried about the quality.
Z97 krait edition was not as good as other mobo at least for me, very basic and a step below in performarce.
But in dont know if its the same with that z170 model.

So what do you think? Thank you.

I'd go the Z170-A from Asus, good mobo, theirPro Gaming is also good in that price range, almost got that before jumping on up to the Hero

What is the difference between asus a and pro gaming, because a dont the blakc-red theme so much.

Mainly just little odds and ends, things like different USB configs, the PG has better audio, some header differences, little things, can compare here:

Im doing some little research and saw the pro gaming is a little better, its only 6 euro more than asus a so maybe i should go for it, it hasent a lot of red color so i guess its ok xd. You think it worth the extra 6 euro? xd

What about gigabyte ud3?.
Good brand, but the model is not as good as the pro gaming rigth¿?

Been some talk about the UD3s having a DIMM slot issue, I haven't been hands on with one yet, would hope it's been fixed, haven't seen a recall though. I'd go the Pro Gaming, was looking hard at it before picking the Hero
