Gigabyte Z490I Aorus Ultra vs Gigabyte X570 Gaming X

The Gigabyte Z490I Aorus Ultra makes for a good, if unremarkable, Motherboard for people with a $280 budget.

The Gigabyte X570 Gaming X, however, is merely mediocre at its $179 asking price, when compared to similarly priced products, and won't satisfy the needs of most people.

In either case, we suggest that you first take a look at some other options at the $280 and $190 price points before committing to one of these - it's likely that you'll be able to find some better alternatives.
