hello guys, I want your opinion about motherboard. My cpu will,be i7-6700k and gpu will be gtx 1070 tho, so I'm looking at MSI z170 gaming m3 or m5? Are those mobo's good enough? Or should I chose other brand?

What about these ones:

MSI: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/gpH48d/msi-motherboard-z170agamingprocarbon
MSI: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/yLPzK8/msi-motherboard-z170asliplus
MSI: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/GRvZxr/msi-motherboard-z170akraitgaming3x
Asus: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/Q9Gj4D/asus-motherboard-z170a
Asus: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/KgJkcf/asus-motherboard-z170progaming
 

I'd get the M5 if you want to go MSI. They're a good brand.

 

ASUS Maximus VIII Hero is also good. Depends on your budget though.

One thing I should have considered when getting a mobo was having built in wifi. 

@Neliss Built-in wifi is a good point. You can also buy a cheap PCIe wireless card though if you want.

 

The Z170-A is a good board (as stated above) in same price range.
