AsRock or MSI, avoid GIGABYTE.

This is quite decent for the price, no point going too expensive anyway since you are not gone overclock with non-K:

No issues with my Gigabyte Gaming 5, or any of the 8 other Gigabyte boards I have.

why 8700

I was thinking the

Msi z370 gaming plus-117$
Or
GIGABYTE Z370P D3--99$ i like their dual bios setting.

But up for consideration for other boards.

My budget is 150$ or less for a mobo

I have no intentions of upgrading to a k version or overclock in the future so im looking for a decent mobo for a non oc cpu.

My primary use will be gaming of all levels. (Heavy use and AAA gaming at 1080p) will probably upgrade to higher then 1080p tho in future.


Thank you for input!!!

Well if so any decent $100+ from asus or so will work fine.

My personal suggestion, asus prime-p ~ $130

But a msi tomahawk or pro or so will work fine too.

Gigabyte Z370P D3 is their cheapest model, pretty crap quality and lot of bad reviews.
In your price range I would go for MSI Gaming Plus or if you want to go for upper limit of your price range then ASUS TUF Z370 Pro Gaming:

problem is the low end z370 boards are very bad for overclocking, however, you dont want and cannot do that, so id probably go with emyi's suggestion of the asus prime p, its only downside is bad vrm for overclocking, but, thats not an issue with a non K.

by the way, why go with a non K ? the K variant is worth having in the long run even if it means saving up a few more weeks, it will stay relevant longer and holds its value ALOT better when its time to upgrade.

@Rumplecrutchskin.

Im pretty newbish when it comes to pc building and this is my first pc build ever. So if you dont mind what are some key differences between the two mobos you suggested.

@monk. In my years of pc gaming ive just never really needed oc potential. Or ive gotten by so far without knowing what im missing lol.

And everything is still up for debate as i have yet to buy any parts yet!!

In that case then switch 8700 for 8600k as its faster

It comes mostly to build and component quality and some additional options.
ASUS has somewhat better quality components and better VRM heatshields so it's better overclocker. It also has both SLi support for Nvidia cards and Crossfire support for AMD cards to run two of them while MSI has only Crossfire support but I doubt it's much relevant to you since you prob not gone run two graphics cards anyway.
Since you are not gone overclock then you should be perfectly happy with MSI, I would consider ASUS if you want to have some options open for future like overclocking and running two Nvidia cards or simply want something that is probably more reliable in the long run.
Again not that important for beginners since they rarely overclock or run two graphics cards and since you need K-version CPU to overclock anyway.
