Please help me choose a Z390 mobo.

To pair with a 9900k. Don't need anything really fancy. Only do "basic" overclocking (vcore, frequency) you know. Basic stuff. Want it to look smart though.
What about https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/Z390-AORUS-PRO-rev-10#kf

Im thinking anything above and beyond that is wasted money for me?

No price on that board maybe if you can say how much you want to spend on a board

It's not really how much I want to spend rather how much *should I spend? What benefits will I see/use and which features are wasted on me.
That board is around £190 give or take.

Here is the Gigabyte family.

And how much can you spend

I don't have a hard limit, I just don't want to spend more than I need to, or buy something too cheap that doesn't overclock well or looks rubbish. I'm basically looking to learn what mobo will suit my needs, something in the "middle" I assume?

Do I NEED better though? What advantages are there? I want basic overclocking. Decent looks. thats about it.
