No pricing info yet

quote:

Gigabyte's full list of X570 motherboards includes the following (click any of the links to go the corresponding product page for the full list of specs)...
Gigabyte X570 Aorus Pro WIFI
Gigabyte X570 Aorus Xtreme
Gigabyte X570 Aorus Master
Gigabyte X570 Aorus Ultra
Gigabyte X570 Aorus Pro
Gigabyte X570 Aorus Elite
Gigabyte X570 I Aorus Pro WIFI
Gigabyte X570 Gaming X


Like what in the frick, how do I even begin to choose.

quote:

The flagship model of the bunch is the X570 Aorus Xtreme (shown above). This board is absolutely built for overclocking—it has a 16-phase digital VRM, a high-quality power architecture, a 'NanoCarbon' base baseplate that is both stylish and functional (cooling), and two socketed BIOS chips.

Like every other X570 motherboard, it supports PCI Express 4.0. This doubles the bandwidth of PCIe 3.0, giving graphics cards a fatter pipe, and allows for even faster NVMe solid state drives, such as the 5,000MB/s model that Gigabyte recent teased.


Sounds good. I will be pushing it to max OC levels for sure.

Their Taichi series for Ryzen has been very good. Their x370 and x470 boards were very well received. Their x370 Taichi was arguably the best first gen Ryzen board.

I was going to mention that in my earlier post, I agree the first gen Taichi was the best Ryzen board. They are really good.

I'll either get the Aorus or Taichi most likely, MSI lineup looks to be below both.

If Gigabyte would fix their BIOS, they would have the best boards IMO.

Aorus Master and Xtreme will be their two best ones.

Pro WiFi ATX and itx should be decent as well.

Any recommendations for gaming keyboard and headset?

Finally deciding to upgrade from my 10+ year old dell mouse/keyboard and my cheapo walmart headset that's falling apart.

I ordered a Logitech G900 mouse and SteelSeries XL stitched cloth pad already.

I've never used a mechanical keyboard but looking forward to it. Went to bestbuy yesterday to check out different keys and I honestly think I could be happy with either the tactile, linear or blue clicky logitech keys. But, I think I want to go with the tactile, or something similar.

If you can stand the noise, I like the blues/razer greens the best.

What's your budget?

If I buy romer-g blues and a logitech headset, will it cancel out the noise when I'm talking?

Some dynamic mics like a vmoda boommic will do well against background noise.

Romer Gs are not my favorite.

Ducky one is amazing along with Glorious, Vortex, and Anne Pro.

For my money, I'd get a Ducky One 2 in Browns. Everyone can usually hear blues or razer greens.

Ducky

As far as headset, audio Technica m40x and vmoda boom mic

Let me know size of keyboard that you want. I have suggestions in almost all sizes. I think a keyboard is less important than the headphones and mouse.

My personal peripherals are Phillips shp9500s with vmoda boom mic, Anne pro 2 60% in gateron browns (I like better than cherry), final mouse air 58, g502, and glorious model O.

Check out that website for the ducky board. Find your price you want to pay for and you can ask all the questions you want.

Basically look for double shot pbt caps and the type of switches you want. Those are all good keyboards.

Reds and blacks were way too mushy for me, I tried to like them but couldn't get around to them

So what do you do with a $150 keyboard that you hate the switches on?
