motherboard z170 gigabite th3p or asus pro gamer

[hehehe124]

Hello,
I am building new pc:
gtx 1070
i5 6600k
Kingston HyperX Fury Black Series 8gb 2400mhz ddr4
EVGA Power Supply SuperNOVA 550 G2
etc.

But I cant decide which motherboard should i buy. I am choosing between Gigabite Z170 TH3P and Asus Z170 Pro Gamer.

This is supposed to be gaming PC and i dont plan doing SLI ,at least for now.
Can you recommend which motherboard should I buy?

Thanks.

Under Gigabyte's portfolio, there aren't any Z170 boards with the TH3P suffix. Are you talking about D3H or the HD3P?

I'd go for the D3H simply because of the beefier heatsink and all IR VRM's around the CPU socket area. I would also like to add, Gaming is more of a nomenclature for budget and there aren't many bells and whistles worth writing home about when on the Pro Gaming boards. If you must really shell out, go for the ROG or EVGA boards.

I'd go the Pro Gaming, have done 4 builds on it and it's a very good mobo, nice BIOS, runs cool, OCs well, handles DRAM very well. Should be very happy with it 😉
