Looked at the Asus z170 and i think the z170-k works best for me, the 6 SATA is what got me. Thanks for all the help!

I'm only planning on replacing the motherboard, CPU and RAM right now. I'm heavily leaning towards buying the 6600k and motherboard you suggested. Maybe a different motherboard though as the metal heat sink at the top is going to interfere with my top radiator. Just put my PC back together and here is are my fans just making it in with the motherboard with the plastic tip cut off the power supply cord. (ignore screws i rushed it)

Woops forgot to add that, really no budget, just nothing overboard like a $2000 motherboard

Hey I am buying a new pc and turning my current one into a media center/trouble shooting PC. I need help deciding on 2011-3 or 1151 and which motherboards/CPU for the socket. The PC will be used for mainly AAA games on a 2560x1440 screen and 2 other 1080p screens for multitasking. EDIT: money is not an issue Thanks

I'm also in the same boat. I'm pretty new to water cooling and have a budget of 100-200$. Kinda want an all in one as the appeal of a custom loop isn't there for me. I'm considering the corsair hydro series H80i at the moment.
