Can anyone recommended a good quality motherboard for my i5-6600K. Preferably not too expensive and has all the bells and whistles like good quality on board audio.

Sorry but none of those are compatible with the i5-6600k. Its LGA1151 while those motherboards are LGA1150

If you want something affordable, then go for an MSI Z97 PC Mate: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/msi-motherboard-z97pcmate

The Asus Z97-A is also a good option. If you want a higher up motherboard I'd recommend this: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/asus-motherboard-z97e

The Z97 is for Haswell CPUs, not Skylake CPUs. Therefore, it's incompatible with the i5 6600K.

 

@Riley2146, the ASUS Z170-A is a decent option.

Be nice to each other boys and girls. And don't cheap out on a power supply.

  1. Filter Z170.
  2. Filter only mobos with 10 power phases or more.
  3. Out of the remaining options, pick one you find pretty.

How do you do that?  I don't recall seeing that option on the advanced filters on PCPartPicker or Newegg.  (Usually I just look at the photo and count the number of chokes by the CPU socket / heatsinks.)

You click on every single one of the options you have and then evaluate it separately. Ctr+W the ones you don't want.

Ahh, so the "manual" method I've already been using.  Open a couple hundred or so motherboards in new tabs, then ctrl+tab through them, ctrl+w-ing the rejects. :)
