ASUS ROG Maximus XI Hero (WiFi): https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07HCXT591/

Brand new hero XI is 280 at amazon right now.
Used-“very good” is 181.

Since your gpu has Aura Sync you could go with the Asus ROG Maximus XI Hero: https://www.amazon.com/ROG-Maximus-Hero-Wi-Fi-Motherboard/dp/B07HCXT591/?tag=sengepo-20

Asus Maximus Hero XI I'm buying this board.

I was going to buy G.Skill Trident Z Royal Series or G.SKILL TridentZ RGB Series

However both of these aren't listed under the Hero XI's QVL.

Are they still compatible and would they still be able to be OC'd? Or should I stick to what g.skill shows for compatibility with the maximus hero xi z390?


Thanks

This one is half the price and looks pretty ok I don’t have to much experience with ASUS so I’m not too sure

Here is the motherboard

Thanks for the response! Just wanted to confirm the right board - I found this on Amazon, it appears to be a little higher than the quote but I think the price just varies. https://www.amazon.com/ROG-Maximus-IX-Extreme-Motherboard/dp/B06XF6QP5C

I like the idea of the monoblock!

EDIT: I think I actually found the one you were referencing: https://www.amazon.com/ROG-Maximus-Hero-Wi-Fi-Motherboard/dp/B07HCXT591

What is the difference between this motherboard (https://www.amazon.com/ROG-Maximus-Hero-Wi-Fi-Motherboard/dp/B07HCXT591/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1543293169&sr=8-2&keywords=asus+rog+maximus+xi+hero) and this motherboard (https://www.amazon.com/ROG-Strix-Gaming-Motherboard-802-11AC/dp/B07HCPLQ2H/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1543293201&sr=8-7&keywords=asus+rog+strix-e)? They look the same to me lol.

I found that hopping through someone else's link on here. For some reason it doesn't show up if you search though.

This is the PSU

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N4C39AR/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_y-YBDb4MEH8RH


And this is the board

The motherboard is as it says the mother. The single most important part of your pc. Get a motherboard that’s highly rated on reviews, I wouldn’t cheap out here. I don’t have a specific recommendation for you I’m sorry just a bit of advice.

Edit rog motherboard link

If you prefer new: https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B07HCXT591/ (on sale for $282). Also, this would be the link to look for reviews.
