To change motherboard, or not to change?

[MarkHighOnTrunks]

I am about to buy a new pc from cyberpower, and they offer me a free motherboard ( CyberpowerPC Z270 SLI Xtreme ATX w/ RGB, AC WiFi, USB 3.1, 2 PCIe x16, 4 PCIe x1, 6 SATA3, 1 U.2, 1 M.2 SATA/PCIe [Intel Optane Ready] ) so i was thinking, will it be ok or should i change it for +40$ and get the MSI Z270 GAMING PRO CARBON ATX w/ RGB, USB 3.1, 3 PCIe x16, 3 PCIe x1, 6 SATA3, 2 M.2 SATA/PCIe [Intel Optane Ready] ???

If it will do its job then ok, but if i see it in flames in two years , or bad quality or sth then id rather get precautions from now and pay that 40$ extra ''fee''

Differences between those boards are rather minimal.
Pro carbon has cooling solution for M.2 drive. Is it worth extra 40$ ?
I'd say no, but you have to decide for yourself.

i guess not.... i dont even know if my SSD is M.2 ... never the less, one more question.
Why the cyberpower MB has AC Wifi but on the MSI one it doesnt... and what is AC Wifi anyway???

what is AC Wifi anyway???

It is wireless network standard that operates on 5Ghz band.
