i rather get a kaby lake i7 since its only 20$ apart which is negligible

And have outdated hardware,  why would they do that?

If you're going Kaby Lake, I'd use a Z270 to be honest.

Skylake is legacy. Not even made anymore, neither are the motherboards.

yes i said a 6700k and a z170 would meet his needs. 

[dboltse]

ASUS changed the naming. On my phone so can't link you but go to YouTube and Paul's hardware. He has the ASUS report on and they go over the new boards.

ive seen that same video before but i must have missed it  but what im getting is it should be the z270 STRIX gaming F or E

OK, I was looking at the prime. That's the confusion. 

 

Are you fixed on ASUS? No worries if you are because as a MSI fan I understand.

im on msi at the moment i hate sound blaster cinema for gaming its terrible for footsteps and hard to tune so i rather not deal with that and stick with asus's gaming line however that is the issue i dont want a prime since those are quite lame drivers with low customizeability

Check out ASROCK, they have the most cost effective boards with z270 chips so far.
