Gigabyte Aorus Z270X-Gaming 7

Overview

The AORUS Gaming 7 is a feature rich board, on some parts maybe even overkill for casual gamers. Best of all is that one doesn't need to pay a premium prize for all this luxury. Performance is good and on par with most Z270 based motherboards. The numerous RGB options and the RGBW light strip header are a plus for those that want to go for full customization.
