No need for a Z chipset with a non overclocking CPU, other than that everything looks great.

What chipset would you recommend then?

You don't need a z170 board if you are not using a k series motherboard for overclocking

H170 or H110 what matters is the features wanted and reliability

 

(this is just a money saving suggestion btw)

Or you could use an older BIOS (or just not use Win10) and you could OC your non-k CPU with a Z170.

But it's your choice, really.

 

BTW to anyone else looking at this, yes, it still works.

Want to know which mobo to get?

Spoiler

Choose whatever you need. Any more, you're wasting your money. Any less, and you don't get the features you need.

 

Only you know what you need to do with your computer, so nobody's really qualified to answer this question except for you.
