I am going to upgrade to an i7-9700k pretty soon and I need a new motherboard that is compatible with the chip. I have selected 4 that I think are good in price points and quality from what I can tell. I do not have much knowledge in motherboards of how to tell which is "better". $200 give or take is my budget and I'm not really looking for a budget board either because I heard that cheaping out on a mb is a bad idea.

Asus ROG Strix Z390-E Gaming Motherboard LGA1151

MSI MPG Z390 GAMING PRO CARBON AC LGA 1151

MSI MPG Z390 Gaming Edge AC LGA1151

ASUS Prime Z390-A Motherboard LGA1151

Gigabyte Z390 AORUS Elite (12 phase vrm)?



Other components:
Dark Rock 4
NZXT 500i
Gigabyte 2060 OC Pro
850w EVGA psu
16 gb Kingston HyperX Fury

Thanks for your help :)

Do you mean why would I go for an older motherboard? or why would I go for an older processor (which also forces me to stick with an older motherboard). If that is the case, I was under the impression that the I7-9700k was still good and I can't really spend the extra $130 for an i9-9900k. But if you were talking about the motherboard please suggest different ones.

Z390 is a older platform any reason why you want to use this ?
