What's the best motherboard for gaming?

My latest configuration specs include:
  • Intel Core i7-8700K
  • CORSAIR DOMINATOR Platinum 32GB (2x16GB) DDR4 3200 (PC4-25600) (2x16)
 
Do you have a brand preference, price range, form factor? Do you need anything specific like multiple M.2 slots, wifi, overclocking features?
 
This is mostly for gaming. Was looking into MSI ... but I'm open. Saw the MSI Godlike board, but does not appear to be available anywhere
 
Look at the features and compare it to what you need. You don't need to spend $500 for a decent motherboard. Most decent mid-range boards will overclock a 8700k to the max of the chip before you hit the max of the board. You can get away spending well under $200.
 
I just got the 8700k to use with my Asus Z370I. I have thrown every game I can possibly throw at it and ti worked perfectly. Im using a R9 Nano video card.
