If we had to recommend a single motherboard for the Intel Core i7-9700K, it would be the excellent ASUS ROG Strix Z390-E Gaming. Not only can you enjoy some solid value here, but it has pretty much everything you need for a powerful PC build. High-quality components, stable overclocking enhancements, a great and easy BIOS, as well as some other handy benefits like dual M.2 slots make the price well worth considering.
If you'd rather go all out with a compact system build, look no further than the ASUS ROG Strix Z390-I Gaming Mini-ITX motherboard. It's seriously compact, has some killer features like the same Z390 chipset as our top recommendation, as well as solid VRMs to even support some degree of overclocking.
