LGA1151 MOBO Suggestions Please:

Hi, I'm currently planning a build which is going to have a i5-7600K and an MSI GTX 1070.

 

I'm not really up to date with motherboards and chipsets so I'm not sure what motherboard would be advisable to have for it.

 

The budget for this is probably around the $110 dollar range, give or take a bit. 

 

Thanks,

Any Z270 should be fine.

They exist but  I'd get a r5 1600 instead.  6c/12t is going to last a LOT longer and perform better right now than any i5.

These so far are all parts from local stores, that's why I've chosen them. All left to find is a motherboard but some aren't available or aren't a decent price.
