Which MB should i get

[Carlos_8922]

I recently bought a FX 8320 with the MSI 970 gaming. I found a better price and returned the items. Should i keep the same mb/cpu for gaming? Or should i go for something different. Noob here.

I'd move to Intel, do you have a budget?

What MB's would you recommend for gaming?
Trying to get a build under 1k

 

[Carlos_8922]

600-800 area preferably

Something like maybe the 6600K and Asus Z170-A

Hows the Asus Z170-E?
They have a open box going for $60.. Still backed by warranty. Any difference towards gaming between the 2 MB?

The A has a better power phase design and OCs better, ports will vary, can compare the two directly here:
