Upgrade from 2600k

[N0rtiRaskal]

I am looking to upgrade my current rig to broadwell e, probably a 6900k what motherboard should I get?

 

I currently have a 2600k with 8gb of ram, asus Maximus extreme motherboard, 4x256gb ssds in raid, a 1tb hard drive, a h110i cpu cooler, 2x gtx 980 in sli, a gtx 580sc that was supposed to be for physx but does nothing and a 1500watt bronze power supply. Which motherboard would be best to be able to just switch out the cpu and ram and do I need to change the cpu cooler? I am looking to upgrade my 980s some time soon but feel like my current cpu would bottleneck the system. I am currently playing at 1440p but would like to get an ultra wide and don't think I have enough to push that resolution. I am mostly going to be playing games but do some video from time to time. I don't want to get a 6700k as that doesn't seem like much of an overall upgrade.

 

Thanks for your help

If you are just gaming you will not see much of a difference going to a 6900k, and a 2600k would not even bottleneck 1080 sli.

Thanks for your help, one thing I didn't mention is that some of my USB ports have stopped working which make me think that I will need to start changing stuff anyway.

Here is a few boards

As for the cpu cooler you will have to see if the cooler supports lga2011-3 which it should.

 

And I would look at getting a 5820k, or 5830k, because unless you are video editing daily you are paying almost double the price for more cores that will just be sitting around not doing anything, and there will be no difference in gaming going from a 5820k to a 6900k.

FX 9590 is a great upgrade, winters will be extra cosy.
