What's a good Value MB for the i7 6700k?

Hey. I'm looking for a good motherboard for my 6700k that won't make my wallet cry. I'd be using it for some current gen games on 1080p and I'll also be using stuff like Photo shop and such. And, if you could, also tell my why your suggesting the motherboard. Thanks.

How much can you spend? Will you overclock?

If you are getting the 6700k and not the 6700, get a z170 chipset board that can overclock.

money is not that much of a concern but less than 150 us would be nice. Yes I will probably OC.

The th actually supports dual thunderbolt and certain "minor " addn (also better onboard audio) ..also I have used gigabyte gaming 7 it is pretty decent at overclocking also I don't quess there is much difference b/w ud5 and ud5th in terms of over clocking ..I personally believe gigabyte's SOC series make some of the best OCing boards

I have a Gigabyte z170x gaming 7 for my 6700k, it is a little more than $150 us, however it was the best one in terms of user reviews that i could afford at the time.

Z170 Sabranco has been dropping dramatically, it used to be $220 when it first came out, and now it can be found for as low as $170, $145 if its open box. 

Don't fail me now as i've failed you then.
