ASRock X299 Extreme4
The X299 Extreme4 is a fine value for, say, pairing a PCIe x16 four-way M.2 adapter with a single graphics card. The price could also entice prosumers seeking to go from a six-core to an eight-core CPU. But the board’s restrictive slot configuration limits its appeal to niche cases.

ASUS PRIME Z370-A
The Prime Z370-A supports keeping all three of its x16-length slots active, even when hosting two M.2 drives, which should be seen as a significant benefit by anyone who might ever consider installing two M.2 drives.

ASRock X399 Taichi
The choice fell on an ASRock X399 Taichi. On the one hand, the purchase price tends towards the lower end of the price range of Threadripper motherboards and, on the other hand, ASRock has built a good reputation on Intel with the Taichi series in terms of price / performance and overclocking suitability.

ASUS ROG STRIX B360-F GAMING
For those unaware, the new Intel B360 chipset is a cut-down version of the Intel Z370 chipset and is aimed squarely at those wanting basic Coffee Lake features, minus the overclocking potential and at a lower price-tag. So where would a ROG motherboard fit into this criteria?
