Don't bother with a Z170 motherboard unless you have a K CPU (This indicates if its unlocked or not), you need both a K CPU and Z170 to overclock and to have one without the other is a waste of money. Just get a H170 or B150 motherboard and stick with the stock cooler unless you plan to overclock. Also quote us when you reply so we get a notification and can reply easily.

ok, but i looked online and the h170 cost around $130 and z170 only cost $150 with that board i get more PCI express slots and usb slots.
