Hey there, its been about 5 years since I first put my build together and you guys were a huge help in that process so I thought I might come back again and ask for some advice. I'm looking to upgrade my CPU very shortly and have decided on a i5-10600k. As a reference you can find my current build here - https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Fj6nPn

I'll probably upgrade my RAM to these as well as I have been eyeing 32gb for a while https://www.newegg.com/corsair-32gb-288-pin-ddr4-sdram/p/N82E16820233894?Item=N82E16820233894

Basically, this computer is just used for gaming and work stuff (like some folks I am working from home now and will be for the foreseeable future).

So on to my main question, I've been doing alot of looking up about motherboards and have settled on a few. I am just looking for a solid, quality motherboard. Right now I'm between the MSI z490 Unify and the Asus z490 Strix-E. I've bounced between a few others but these are the two I'm looking at now. I'm not strict on the price range either but this seems to be the range that the most reasonable motherboards are sitting at. I thought about getting the new Asus Rog Maximus Hero as I have really enjoyed the old one I have in my system currently but I can't justify the price for what it provides. Let me know what you guys think, I just want the best bang for my buck and a quality product. Thanks in advance :)
