If you're gonna spend that much on a board, at least get the MSI pro carbon... Asus is just throwing money away until you get to their crosshair/rampage boards.

As long as you do not plan on overclocking too hard, your motherboard choice should simply depend on the type and amount of different connectors/headers you plan to use + possible UEFI benefits or restrictions.

Literally ANY type of VRMs will do absolutely fine with any current stock CPU. 99% of considerations are basically a waste of time.

About your general choice:

What kinds of games do you usually play in which resolution and at which kinds of FPS? What's your current (or planned) GPU?

Put the other acc to rest after that.

Lmao.

I'm welcoming more responses as far as suggestions go but if it's not related to the topic at hand you are completely capable of taking it to private messages.

I made some statements AND asked you some important questions in my initial post. Answer those so we can continue to help xD

I currently game with my computer i have a 3x monitor setup current video card is a 1060 6gig

My current cpu is a amd fx 8350 with supporting board and memory.

Your initial RAM choice is fine.

As long as you won't overclock (or just mildly do), there's no reason to spend 160$ on a mainboard. You can easily keep the price under 100$ and get a low-end Z370 or a mid H370 board. You will NEVER notice a difference and it won't die on you either.
