Apologies if this is not the right forum for this, but I just have a couple of quick questions about the ASRock Z170 Professional Gaming i7 board that I'm just about to buy.

1) Is this basically the same board as the Z170 Extreme 7+? I've checked the specs and apart from the supplied accessories, special gaming mouse USB port, and slight differences in the supplied software, I can't find much difference between them. I'm not really a gamer, but was going to go with the Fatal1ty board as it's cheaper and I don't really need the USB front-plate.

2) Can anyone recommend a Mini-PCIE Wi-Fi card that will work well with this board?

Cheers

I have 2 system with this board, I love it. your case already has front usb ports, so no reason to get the one with the plate because you wont use it. Just make sure your case has USB 3 as the front ports since the mainboard supports usb 3 on the front.

another thing, if you run into an error, dr debug code 00, its a memory/cpu error, what mine turned out to be was you have to increase the voltage to the ram. so I set memory to xmp2 (to use 3400 settings) then manually set the memory to 3100, and it worked fine.

my system is

I might have to get an extra USB3 connector that goes into the floppy bay as the case I'll be using is an old Gigabyte GZ-X1.
