[SOLVED] MB for i7-8700K

[vwcrusher]

Hi All, Building a system primarily for Adobe Lightroom and occasional gaming. In another forum the i7-8700K was recommended for CPU. A MB was also suggested, the MSI MAG Tomahawk Z390....I really don't know much about MBs, but I did see a video detailing which MBs had the best VRMs, and it favored the Gigabyte Z390 Aorus Elite and Pro.

I don't want to penny-wise and pound-foolish; any advice is appreciated.

Sorry, thought I was putting this in the MB forum, but this site jumps around a lot now..... : /

Thanks for the reply....are you suggesting this MB instead of the MSI for my CPU?
