Hi folks,
My old man is in the US so its good idea to get a new PC build. Main reason is that my motherboard has a broken PCIE and to be able to buy new parts for a new build and sell my current PC. right now i think the best CPU to get would be a i6600k and a LGA 1151 board that fits the CPU, im not sure about the Mo/bo so id like to see what you'd recommend. The idea is to do OC and use it mostly for gaming, what do you think about these items?
Looking forward to hearing from you

Go with something from ASUS instead. Something like Z170-P or Z170-K or Z170-A or one of those.

Just pick the one that has the features you need.

I agree, ASUS motherboards have the best reliability. If youre looking for something high end, their sabertooth or ROG boards are awesome. If you dont care about asthetics go on newegg and look at some asus ones arouns your price range and compare features that you find most useful or necessary. Any Z170 mobo will overclock for you :)
