Need Opinion on i7-7700K Motherboard

A friend of mine is configuring a computer, and we've narrowed all the components down to the motherboard.

He's getting:

i7-7700K
16GB DDR4-2400MHz (2x8GB)
MSI GTX 1070 8GB vRAM
750W Corsair PSU
1 512GB NVMe SSD + 1 1TB SATA III SSD

In the spoiler tag are the options for motherboards. I really don't know what to recommend. He doesn't plan on SLI and really doesn't plan on doing anything out of the ordinary except possibly overclocking the CPU a bit.

Anyone have any recomendations? Thanks.

I think you'll be able to easily get away with a cheaper (but quality) 650W Power Supply - I have almost exactly the same system & gaming wattage drawn from the wall is hardly ever over 280W in total! (That's with CPU & GPU overclock in sig).

Regarding the motherboard question, I'm not a motherboard guru! My approach during my build was to pick one on price & then to read reviews for that specific model at various places like guru3d, anandtech, and anywhere else where they do reviews - this was after picking it from a list of compatible motherboards from PC Parts Picker. For what it's worth my MSI Z170 Krait Gaming x3 has been stellar as far as I'm concerned (and is also compatible with 7700K).

EDIT: from the savings on the power supply, maybe you can spend the difference by upping to 16GB RAM, I don't think 8GB is optimum nowadays, during gaming I'm pretty much always using at least half of my RAM or just under (and I've got 16GB right).

EDIT 2: Oh yeah, and get rid of the NVMe SSD and swap for good SATA SSD, then you definitely have enough money for 16GB RAM! NVMe SSD isn't really necessary or feeling any different in games and desktop use - except maybe if you do video editing or something where you're loading massively sized sequential files. Go for faster than 2400Mhz RAM too - go 3200Mhz I reckon, especially if you want to get the most out of your CPU if aiming for high frames per second in games - if you're aiming for 144Hz for instance.

 

Thanks for the reply.

He is getting 16GB of RAM, 2 x 8GB sticks. He keeps his computer for 5-6 years and usually wants top end stuff if he can. He's even contemplating a 1080 Ti now.

I haven't seen RAM speed make a whole lot of difference though, and testing has shown it hasn't mattered a whole lot unless you go with much faster RAM comparatively.

 

Well, there's this, where they see some good performance increases with faster RAM:

After reading the last page in that article where they talk about memory timings, that might make me relax my timings & increase the Mhz - I just took my XMP 3200Mhz RAM and tightened the timings as far as they go, I might try stock timings & see if I can increase the Mhz.
