Hey,

I am going to upgrade my CPU to the i7 6700K, and therefore require a new mobo with the LGA1151 Socket.

My colour scheme is black and green and therefore I do not want a white motherboard like the Z170-A.

I have found this: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Gigabyte-G1-Sniper-Intel-B150-LGA1151/dp/B01DTL91JW/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1462827681&sr=8-2&keywords=G1.Sniper+B7

But I do not know it's OC potential and I do not wish to spend over £120

Any help would be greatly appreciated,

Smiffy

You won't be able to overclock with that board. You need Z170 to overclock.

Gigabyte however does have a Z170 variant of that board.
