Hi there!
I purchased all my parts a few days ago only to find out that the MOBO (GA-Z170X-UD5 TH) I chose was discontinued and the company made a mistake in saying it was in stock. Now I have all my parts minus the MOBO. I need to get a new board and get cracking on my system. I'm using it for editing and effects, want 4k (does HDMI 2.0 matter from the MOBO?), want to game as well. Also would like to play with M.2 in the future...
The boards I'm looking at now:
Asus -
Sabertooth tuf M1
Hero
Gigabyte -
GA-Gaming 7
GA-Z170X-UD5
GA-Z170-SLI
Here's what I already have:
Intel Core i7-6700K 4.0GHz Quad-Core Processor
Corsair H100i v2 70.7 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler
Crucial Ballistix Sport LT 64GB (4 x 16GB) DDR4-2400 Memory
2x Samsung 850 EVO-Series 250GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
Samsung 850 EVO-Series 1TB 2.5" Solid State Drive
EVGA GeForce GTX 980 Ti 6GB HYBRID Video Card
Phanteks Enthoo Evolv ATX Glass ATX Mid Tower Case
EVGA 750W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply
NZXT Hue+ RGB Colour Changing Internal LED Controller
This is my first build and although I'm learning a lot and getting the hang of this, I'd like a fairly straight-forward build process with a guide as to avoid any crazy road blocks as much as possible.
Having trouble figuring out my best option after already thinking I had found it. Apparently Gigabyte is coming out with the new version of the Z170X-UD boards in a couple months (I called the manufacturer) and wondering if maybe waiting for those could be an option, or if it's too new on the market to mess with.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks so much.
