Hello guys,
A few months ago I decided to create a new build, aimed for gaming but with a good OC capability to explore.
My build have the following components at the moment:
So now that you have met my boy let's talk about serious stuff, my MSI Motherboard died on me and it isn't covered by the warranty so I will need get a new one but I need you advice/help to pick the right one, now with 7th Gen Intel CPU "Kabylake" a new Chipset was born (270 series) and these motherboards are compatible with my "old" 6th Gen so, should I aim for a motherboard with the newest chipset, looking forward in the future or should I stick with the Z170 series?
My budget is around 200€ I can raise a bit more if the Motherboard justifies.
By the time I was building this build I was thinking about a MSI powered PC but nevermind that now 😛 All my ASUS motherboards are still alive and with good health the last MSI motherboard, before this one also gave me problems.
So putting this I have a few Motherboards in sight:
So what's your opinion? Wich motherboard should I get?
PS: I will also upgrade my PSU to a Seasonic M12II Evo Edition 620W Full Modular.
