Looking to upgrade my CPU above all things, in order to do so I need a new motherboard and then RAM to go with it (as my current RAM is DDR3 and not 4).

Current budget: £500 (£530 MAX) - ($650-$690, roughly. USD).

I'm looking at getting one of these motherboards:

1.

2.
********.co.uk/products/asus-prime-z390-a-z390-chipset-lga-1151-atx-motherboard/primez390-a.html

I've read mixed reviews about these two motherboards, and I am looking for any other information that you beautiful people can provide me.

Any other suggestions for a good motherboard are open for discussion.

Additional comment:
My computer does not have a CD/DVD drive. Will a new motherboard & CPU install drivers automatically or will I have to get an external drive for that?

Probably a bit cliche but, I want to keep it Intel.
Plus what you have recommended is over my budget. Well over.

You'll need a USB flash drive 8GB minimum to install Windows, and then go online and download the extra drivers from the motherboard website.
