I had the Gaming 3 version of that board on my old pc and it was a good board, didn't have any problems with it, you could save a bit of money and get the gaming 3 if you can.

CPU: 6600K @ 4.6Ghz | COOLER: H100i GTX | MOBO: Asus Z170 AR | GPU: EVGA GTX 1080 Ti Hybrid | RAM: G.Skill Trident Z RGB 16GB | 

CASE: Corsair 760T | PSU: Corsair RM750x | STORAGE: Samsung 850 EVO 250GB & Seagate 2TB | KEYBOARD: K70 RGB | MOUSE: Deathadder Elite

Should be more than good. I'm using an MSI z97 Gaming 3 with an i7 5775c with an overclock, and it handles it fine. Dual R9 380 4GB and 1600 MHz RAM overclocked to 2400 MHz and the Gaming 3 can handle it just fine. If you like the features of the Gaming 5, go for it :)

the gaming 5 is only 3 bucks more than the gaming 3 so i think it is worth it though :) and thank for your opinion ;)
