Motherboard and cpu combo

[kody50542]

Hey guys working on a new gaming build budgeting for around 1300 dollars with my current build. Since technology is constantly changing I didn’t want to buy top dollar cutting edge parts, but maybe a level below that. I found a deal that may save me some money but I wanted peoples opinions if they would go for it. The capabilities I want my computer to have are: VR capability, being able to play on max graphics, and the ability to stream if I want to go that route. Here’s what I found: https://m.newegg.com/combo/combodetail?comboId=3705665&comboType=2&_ga=2.240294085.753167623.1514760784-1774808983.1514760784&_gac=1.209505958.1514935489.EAIaIQobChMI5-Xsv7S62AIVxrfACh1qTQDJEAAYASAAEgLDYPD_BwE


Some input would be greatly appreciated

A very reasonable combo deal.
The i5-8600K is about the best pure gaming processor around.
If you are on any sort of a budget, the $100 you saved by passing on a i7-8700K can be more usefully applied to a stronger graphics card.

My only question is what do you think of the motherboard I currently have one picked out that’s like 167

MSI is probably # 4 on my list of brands after asus, asrock, gigabyte in no particular order.
I have been pleased with the asrock Z370M PRO4 which is the M-ATX version of the asrock Z370 PRO4 full atx version.

It has many positive reviews while the msi has few.
Cheaper too.
