I don't factor mail-in rebates into my price, as most of the time I do not end up using them.

Sorry did not realize, but do I need to get a Z170 since my cpu is not overclockable. Could I get an H110 motherboard and save some money?

Z170 would be nice, given that you have over 2133mhz RAM (which you can OC even further to get more performance).

 

If you're not up to it, however, then you can pretty much just get whatever you want.

Would the RAM run on the H110 motherboard fine?

Yes.

yes it would just run at 2133mhz. you wont see a real performance difference from a slightly faster ram speed.

Yes.

What would you recommend between the Z170 and H110?

What kind of question is that... didn't I deliberately recommend a Z170 board already?

Guess I am not just thinking straight tonight.

If you plan on getting a K CPU later, you can get the z170, but if not, you don't need it and the asus board would do fine.

[Trav_X]

ASUS since you don't need overclocking capability, and ASUS always has pretty good quality boards.

[Masternji]

If yoiu even have the slightest want to overclock go asrock since it will save you a lot of money when you wanna overclock oin the longrun

I think I am more likely to upgrade to a new chip set than buy a overclockable cpu that is capable with Z170, so I will go with the ASUS.
