What Motherboard Should I Get?

This is my build. I can't change anything because I already have all the parts, except the motherboard. What motherboard should I get? Something that is capable of SLI if I want to go that route in the future? I'm a noob, sorry. :( Could you guys recommend a good motherboard? Thanks a lot.

I would get GIGAGBYTE GA-Z170 UD3 Ultra because I like white and blue scheme

 

Generally any z170 is fine. It's all about what feature you need (m.2 SLI, WIFI RGB...)

This should suit your stealthy build pretty nicely: http://pcpartpicker.com/product/yLPzK8/msi-motherboard-z170asliplus

I agree, z170 will let your overclock that 6700k. As for a certain board it all depends on what you want out of it. Asus generally makes great motherboards, though they are a little pricey. Gigagbyte is also great.

Something black and red... or black and grey to match the rest of the build. Asus, Gigabyte, even EVGA. Any of those will have something that would look great in that case. I love that case by the way, it's cheap and has awesome looks and features I almost got one before deciding to up the budget to one of the special edition In Wins.

Can't go wrong with the Z170-A by Asus. I also made a couple other changes.
