Hi all, I’m looking at ordering one of these boards tomorrow and was wondering if anyone could recommend one over the others?

Asus
Z170-E

Gigabyte
GA-Z170X-Gaming 3

MSI
Z170A-SLI Plus
https://www.overclockers.co.uk/msi-...cket-1151-ddr4-atx-motherboard-mb-314-ms.html

I’m leaning towards the Gigabyte right now as from my understanding it has a dedicated 3.1 USB slot on it where the Asus has this: ASMedia® USB 3.1 controller : 1 x USB 3.1/3.0/2.0 port(s) (1 at back panel, ) but if you look at the back panel it just has 2 blue (3.0) 2 black (2.0) and the C type.

As for the MSI I have never owned one so I’m leaning towards a brand I know.

Can anyone recommend one of these boards over the other, does one board stand out?

Thanks all.
 
Do you already have a cpu?

As some boards are available with the 6600K and 6700K as a bundle to save some cash.
 
No I don't.

I'm getting a 6600K but honestly I'm not bothered about saving 10 or so pounds I would rather get the better board, of course if the better board comes as part of the bundle then great but the boards the priority.
