Dear @Snyderracing, please scroll down to the bottom of the page and change the theme to Night. See what happens to OP and, once you realize how much our eyes are hurting, fix it. With love, Imakuni.

 

PS: Oh yeah, about the topic. I'm assuming you'll be pairing those with a 6700k, 16gb of 3000mhz RAM (or higher) and a Gtx 1080, no?

I'd go with the MSI or the ASUS. I personally have an ASUS board and it's great, but I've heard good things about the M7 too.

The most stable boards I have had till date have been from Asus and EVGA. So I would recommend the Maximum or the FTW. But realistically speaking, most manufacturers putting the z170 chip on their motherboards try to do a good job on stability so the boards should not differ too much in terms of performance. :)
