What Motherboard would suit this build the best? I'm building a 4K gaming computer and plan on overclocking and SLI 2 cards. Money isn't a issue with this. Thanks guys!

If money is not an issue, I would look more at maybe doing an X99 build instead of a Z170.

What combo would you suggest for a X99 build?

Here is how I would build my X99 rig on a quick whim. It does not include the price of the GPU since they have not been released yet so your free to adjust them as you would like nor does it include the 350 or so you put on yours for the custom water loop you plan to do. 

 

EDIT: you have alot of flexibility with the CPU, you can use any of the older 59xx series LGA 2011 socketed CPU's as well.

Thanks for the help, my reason I chose the 6700K over the 6800K was that I was told the 6700 would perform better with gaming over the 6800. Is this true?
