New motherboard!!!

[BZN]

It's me again. A few days ago i asked for your suggestion regarding a new CPU & Motherboard. I got the CPU, but the motherboard still remains a mistery.

 

What makes a good motherboard? Should i look for something else besides socket, memory type and PCI regarding compatibility? 

 

This is a list with motherboards matching my rig (future i7 6700, GTX 970, DDR4 RAM): http://www.pcgarage.ro/placi-de-baza/filtre/general-soclu-procesor-socket-1151/general-recomandat-pentru-gaming-da/memorii-suportate-tip-memorie-ddr4/

 

And the RAM i'm thinking to buy: http://www.pcgarage.ro/memorii/corsair/vengeance-lpx-black-16gb-ddr4-2133mhz-cl13-dual-channel-kit/

 

If you have trouble with translation i'll gladly help. Best regards

Just get a H170 Asus Pro Gaming if it's available.

Dont use DDR3 with Skylake. DDR3L which those boards use is usually more expensive.

The Gigabyte H170-D3H is good

How can i tell if my ram is ddr3L? And why is that needed for a skylake cpu?

the manufacture website will say if its a ddr3L. You need it for Skylake because if its the normal 1.5v it could damage the CPU memory controller. The way you need to use DDR3 on Skylake is to get DDR3L memory, standard DDR3 memory is not safe.

It's plain DDR3, so i guess i need to change it.

 

Will this do the job? http://www.pcgarage.ro/memorii/corsair/vengeance-lpx-black-16gb-ddr4-2133mhz-cl13-dual-channel-kit/ 

 

I've always had corsair RAMs and never was disappointed.

DDR 4 is what you will need with a Skylake processor.
