Picking the best gaming motherboard is a vital part of piecing together your gaming PC, so we’ve tested the best Intel Z370 motherboards and mainstream chipsets for you.
It might not have the same performance impact as your choice of graphics card or CPU, but your motherboard will dictate which of either you can jam in your gaming build. And it doesn't stop there, your motherboard will decide what sort of storage drives you can plug in and what memory you can use too. We’ve tested the best boards from Asus, Gigabyte, MSI, and ASRock to help you choose the right one to build your rig around.
Take a look at our pick of the , y'know, for contrast.
There are myriad options to consider when you’re picking the best motherboard for gaming. The most important choice, however, is whether you’re opting for an Intel or AMD processor as the beating heart of your rig. Last year team red launched the AMD Ryzen CPU platform, along with a whole new line of AM4 motherboards, making the choice a lot tougher.
We’ve covered the best AMD gaming motherboards in another guide to cater for the CPUs, but, because Intel can still just about claim the absolute best gaming performance from its platform, we're focusing on the different Intel options here.

Rockstar's greatest ever character? There's no contest, really. He's everything I love in a video game hero; cool, composed and with a sharply- defined cocky edge. And the best thing is, he never utters a single word.
Good god I love Liu Ping, and going back to Rockstar's Table Tennis after some 12 years (12 years!) his appeal hasn't dimmed in the slightest. It's in his swagger, the strength and style he communicates in even the smallest of movements as he prowls around the table, deftly conjuring impossible shots. It's in his attitude, the way he holds the paddle angled towards himself, dangling purposefully between thumb and forefinger in a posture of pure purpose. It's the way he fans himself nonchalantly with that paddle at the end of a point, the raised eyebrow when a game doesn't go his way or the pursed lips and look of pure determination as he's about to fire off a serve. He's a hard-edged angel with a mean backhand.
So much done with so very little, which is pretty much Rockstar's Table Tennis' maxim - and which pretty much flies against the maximalist approach that Rockstar typically takes with Grand Theft Auto. Funny, isn't it, how last generation was bookended by two Rockstar San Diego joints, both of which played fast and loose with the company's formula. Red Dead Redemption is brilliant in its own way, of course, rightly praised for its relative reserve and emotional maturity when placed in contrast to Grand Theft Auto 4 which preceded it (the contrast is even starker when you put it alongside Grand Theft Auto 5), but Rockstar Table Tennis is something else; a wordless wonder where rivalries are told through nothing more than the tics that find their way into the animation.

When is The Division 2’s release date? Loads of The Division 2 trailers and gameplay details have been revealed at E3 2018 so we have gathered them all up for you here.
The Division 2 is well on its way, kickstarting months of speculation in the run-up to its debut reveal during Microsoft's conference at E3 2018.

Ubisoft does not keep its hype trains running as long as it once did - Watch Dogs 2 was announced at E3 2016 and released later that same year. In contrast, the original Watch Dogs took two years to launch after its debut announcement, and there was an almost three year wait for The Division.
