Need help choosing a new MB. I have been looking at 3 new MB's.

ASRock Z170 Gaming K6+ or
GIGABYTE GA-Z170X-Gaming 7 or
ASUS ROG MAXIMUS VIII HERO

I am going to use an I5-6600K Intel CPU. I have a EVGA SuperNova 750 G2 power supply. I am only running 1 graphics card atm.

I will use a mild overclock. I'm a MMO gamer (no 1st person shooter games)

What would be my best choice (or another suggested MB)?

Thanks for your help.

I'm going with the Hero myself, have the first two (Z87 and Z97) and they were the creme of the crop with Haswell (in sig), have no doubt they will also be the top on with Z170 mobos

Personally, I'd steer clear of ASRock, I have not had too good experiences with them.

It's up to you honestly, ASUS is known for amazing looks and usually just working well so that would be a good option.

Also, Gigabyte is known to have good VRMs and power delivery to their CPUs. Pretty much good for overclocking.

I'd say go for the ASUS board, but the Gigabyte one should also be great.
