Hi, quick question on the two motherboards:
MSI Z170A Pro Gaming
and
MSI Z170-A Pro
Now, I don't need every single difference, but I would be planning on overclocking my cpu and running a single graphics card setup, is there really a big difference between these two boards?

after a quick google, looks like the Gaming pro has RGB LED's if that interests you, I assume it has better power delivery to the CPU which will be better for overclocking, the VRM heatsinks look better on the gaming one too to keep the board cooler during overclocks.
plus it looks a lot nicer

I can't remember exactly and I'm too lazy to google images so I'm going by what I remember. If I'm incorrect, correct me pl0x. thx
Z170-A Pro is a black PCB with no accent colour. Z170A Gamin Pro is a black board with red accenting and it has RGB LEDs along the side of the motherboard(like the B150A Gaming Pro).
I'd personally go with the Gaming Pro for the aesthetics, but that's because I have black/red rig anyway. Both motherboards are fine, just get whichever you can afford that you like the look of best.
