I've generally leaned towards ASUS but my kid's computer has a Gigabyte MB and it has been solid. Really, if you don't get a dud any of the major brands are just fine.

The advantage the Aorus MB had is that it supports Thunderbolt 3 where none of the others in the same price range do.
 
My rig is pretty future proof. I don't see an upgrade coming anytime soon really.

I7-2600k (oc over 5 stable)
Asrock mobo, forget the model
32 GB 2100 ram
No SSD (probably my next upgrade really)
4 TB 7200 RPM drives in raid 10
Dual gtx 970's in SLI (got a killer deal)
Hyper 212 air cooled. I was going to go liquid but had this from another build and it's keeping the processor very cool with dual fans. Probably go liquid sometime in the future.

Yeah there is really nothing I can't play on 1440 high graphics. Skyrim full graphics well in excess of 80 fps. I mostly play FPS and it excels at that.

Oh yeah mechanical keyboard (cherry brown switches) and zowie mouse. Single 32" 2k monitor.

yeah the i7's starting from sandy bridge are pretty future proof.

just get an ssd.

my mian reason fro upgrading is not that 3770k is not sufficient. but i want to have m.2 ssd those are killer. so if an upgrade is comming go balls to the walls on it

Yeah, M.2 NVMe SSDs are on a new higher level.

But z270 supports optane technology and optane will be 10x-1000x faster than current SSDs. It is so fast, in fact, it is as fast as your computer's RAM and can be used in place of system RAM. Coming this fall.

That's awesome. Once I start seeing my system lag I'll probably go the full new build route but I haven't experienced that yet. Plus the bang for the buck I got was amazing. I got both video cards for under 400 combined for example. I have less than 1500 in my current setup. I can't get anywhere near similar performance for anything close to that now.
