Help me pick a z270 board for my build please.

[inneruniverse]

Hello. This is my build: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/EliteKnightRamza/saved/nFkjXL

I need help selecting a Z270 motherboard for this build. There are very little reviews out so it's very difficult for me to make an informed choice myself. I do not need bells and whistles such as RGB lighting or anything like that. The only thing I care about is that the board has decent audio and has an easy to navigate bios that will allow me to overclock my CPU to 5.0 assuming I didn't get screwed by the silicon lottery. Function and performance over form is what I care about.

I was looking at the ASUS Prime line, the cheapest board of that line is the P version, the most expensive the A version. Any idea if cheaping out and getting the P version will be bad for what I want to do? Also feel free to recommend a different board or line of boards.

From what Im learning on here, its the features that you will use or like and the visual aspect of the board. If Im wrong someone please correct me.

I personally use an MSI z170 in my current build and very much like it, aside from making it look different, I haven't noticed much difference between two companies aside from visual appeal. I highly recommend the MSI line and the 270 board will have better tech

I settled for an AsRock z270 Extreme4 and am happy with the purchase.

At the end of the day that is all that matters
