  • Suggestions about computer upgrade

I was planning to buy this combo http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboBundleDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.2466098 to upgrade my computer, but i think the motherboard is a little bit overkill like its a little bit expensive, its a gaming pc there's going to be on asus rog 1070 so any suggestion on the board to save some money? is there any else gaming combos? that are good enough for gaming and they are decent price like my msi z97 gaming 5 was 150$ while this board is 180$...any suggestion will be appreciated ^~^
So you can buy from newegg? can I select from there?
Yes because i live in isa

Sure you can but don't expect it to give you a good overclock, I have it in my PC cooling an i5 4670k at 4.3Ghz (500Mhz overclock) at 1.285 volt, stress testing the CPU will make it reach the around 83C but usage and gaming will keep it below 70C, it will surely keep your CPU cool on stock/boost clocks and it can handle an average overclock

Is there any other motherboard the pro gaming one is a little bit gimmick
Why? it has the specs and costs around 150$, do you have any color scheme in mind? White maybe? more red?
Like i heard some bad reviews about it i don't know im still struggling :S

I read the reviews on Newegg, first moron wants 2x M.2 slots, 2 claimed that it was defected (in USA if it happens you can replace it easily without any worries), but usually on Newegg most of products has this type of negative reviewers, I dont trust them, check reviews on Amazon, they are all good.

Edit: Here is a review for it
