There is no best motherboard just find a motherboard with SLI compatibility, appealing colours for you, ports you need, good BIOS(MSI and ASUS are the best) and done

You may want to consider a 5820k over 6700k. The value for money and increased PCI Lane count makes the 5820k a better solution.

Just get the cheapest one (that looks good too) with SLI compatibility. And has the features you need.

"Sulit" (adj.) something that is worth it

you will need a z170 board with two pcie 3.0 x16 lanes and sli support. the cheapest board with decent audio is the msi z170 gaming pro. it also has metal reinforced pcie x16 lanes and some bling to it.

 

if you want a different color and usb type-c and an overall higher end board you can go with the asus z170 deluxe.

thinkpad l450, i5-5200u, 8gb ram, 1080p ips, 250gb samsung ssd, fingerprint reader, 72wh battery <3, mx master, motorola lapdock as secound screen

Please quote if you want me to respond and marking as solved is always appreciated.

That is some bad advices there. Best motherboard would be the one that serves your needs. For example you want 2 cards, so SLI support, your CPU is overclockable so a board with more "power phases" to support the voltage. 8+2, 10, 12 etc for good overclock.

 

ASRock Z170 EXTREME4+

ASUS Z170 PRO GAMING

ASUS Z170-A

or 

ASUS ROG MAXIMUS VIII HERO - ROG are never bad.

 

the Asus z170 deluxe it just costs 2 much money for me, I wouldn't recommend it.
