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 |

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: http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/Z390%20Phantom%20Gaming%20X/index.asp 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 |
