any Z/B/H/Q 1XX chipset motherboard will do

ie. B150, H110, H170 etc etc

 

the z170 chipset will work fine but normally its more expensive than the others

but i generally go for asus boards, they have better bios layout and fan xpert software which is pretty handy

nice

well if you ask me

this seems like a decent board

http://pcpartpicker.com/part/asus-motherboard-z170e

 

do you have any preferred colour? going with any theme?

btw i noticed you have high speed ram, its quite unecessary but i guess no harm getting them anyway

yes I was hoping to stay with a black green theme I really want to use the green h440 i just have to wait for the refurbish to restock or what are your suggestions on cases going for black and green

Bro your mortarboard costs as much as your CPU, that's not right.

Any reason you have a 1250W power supply? Becuase  that is overkill for your build and even a dual 980 ti build. 

 

The UD5 is a solid board, but you could buy a cheaper one and not be lacking many features, and still have a Z170 board in case you want to ever have multiple GPU's or want to use all the PCI lanes, and actual be able to use the high speed ram you bought.

There is a gigabyte Sniper board, but I think its more equivalent to the Gigabyte gaming 3. http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=5564#ov

Well a good 850W PSU would be plenty for two GPU's, and if you are think about doing SLI at all I think going with a Z170 board is a good idea. So ignore those who say "just get a h170 board".

Also you don't need that big of a powersuplly even if you go SLI you will only need 800 watts max.

Why have you chosen a ludicrously overpriced 980ti?

Well with that build you have a CPU that is not unlocked and technically is not overclockable, you need the 6660K in order to do any real overclocking. Also that Motherboard is B150, so  you definitely can't OC with that. With B150 you can't do SLI either and half of your PCI lanes are usable, and the RAM you bought is also never going achieve those listed speeds as it will be locked to 2133MHz.

Well for looks I would go with MSI gaming Pro Carbon (mostly black, and has LED's), but for features and price either the Gaming 6 from gigabyte or ASUS-A (but those are red/black and white/black)
