Cheap:
 Gigabyte Z170N Wifi https://www.overclockers.co.uk/giga...1151-ddr4-mini-itx-motherboard-mb-536-gi.html

More expensive:
 EVGA Stinger Z170 https://www.overclockers.co.uk/evga...1151-ddr4-mini-itx-motherboard-mb-049-ea.html

Most expensive:
 ASUS Maximus VIII Impact (ROG) https://www.overclockers.co.uk/asus...1151-ddr4-mini-itx-motherboard-mb-677-as.html


Really like the ROG board but need to justify the £80 price difference from the Gigabyte board with the same chipset. Thoughts/experiences?

Thanks for your input but... did you look at the links I provided?

They are all limited to 2 DIMM slots at 32GB max.

They are also limited to 1 PCI Express x16 slot so how is SLI going to be an option?
 
Cheers Borealis! Purely gaming. Going to slap an i5 6600K/i3 6320 in there. Have 2 SSDs and no optical drives so won't need too many SATA. I also don't see myself going with any U.2 or M.2 stuff either. The ROG board looks sick whereas the Gigabyte looks cheap. Might go ROG just for the aesthetics ;)!

Anyone have either of them? Care to comment?
 
Legion. Both look very slick. I will keep these in mind when shopping. Shame they aren't on OC.

Not looking to overclock immediately but it may be something I'd be interested in in the future.
