First up, those are all ASUS boards, this is the ASRock forums

As for future proofing, that isn't really a factor when you are going with a 2
generation old CPU. It is by no means a bad CPU but future proofing for an already
redundant platform makes no sense. Seeing as this is the ASRock forums I would
recommend you get a mid to high tier board for your 8700k to ensure maximum
stability and features.

Something like the Phantom Gaming X:

This will give you support for 9th gen, Wifi 6 and plenty of expansion options.
That and it will likely be a lot cheaper than most of the boards you listed

Hey, im getting new PC so i am interested in something, i will be getting i7-8700K so would you recommend Maximus X Hero, Rog Strix Z390-E Gaming or Maximus XI Hero? Last one may be a little overkill but i am looking at future proof. I am getting new PC after 7 years and i am totally out of loop. So is Z390 that better that i should skip Z370 motherboards?

Specs should be :

CPU: I7-8700K

MB: ???

Ram: G.Skill Trident Z RGB 16gb (2x8gb) 3200Mhz

GPU: Aorus GTX 1080ti Xtreme

HDD: Western Digital WD4005FZBX 4TB Black

SSD: Western Digital WDS500G2X0C

Cooler: Kraken x72

Power Supply: Cooler Master V850

Case: H700i]]> Fri, 23 Oct 2020 17:54:39 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=17046&PID=80854&title=motherboard#80854
