Motherboard Choice and Gereral Suggestions for My Sub 800 USD Build List

[plasticplanet]

I do casual gameing. I do not need overclocking, also want to make sure I do not have any bottleneck on my setup. If necessary I can choose a lower SSD...

Here is my list:

 

CPU: Core i5 6600K $235
GPU: XFX RX 460 $93
RAM:   Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 DRAM 2666MHz $78 https://goo.gl/HRW8Iy
Motherboard:  ???
SSD:  Buy Samsung 850 EVO 500GB:  $165
Case: ???
Power Supply: EVGA 500 W1, 80+ WHITE 500W $36
Cooling: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO $28
Fan: Corsair SP 120 $25

 

Total: $660

Goal: <$800

 

Edit: Sorry, I need to clarify, it seams like everyone is recommending high end Graphic Card for me, I am not a gamer, ~$100 card would be enough for me. I use Linux with Windows, so I need a 520GB SSD to split evenly for both system.

This is what I would go for

You aren't overclocking so I left a z170 incase you want to upgrade in the future to prevent bottleneck, other than that everything else is explanatory

Still not sure about your build, why the z170mobo? Why the m2 ssd? At this price point that doesnt make sense... It fits tho allright but why no 6600 and a cheaper b150 mobo?

I edited my post on why Z170, and the M.2 is cheaper than the sata version..

And m.2 can go to 32 gb than 6gb on sata

 

TL:Dr m.2 can be faster in some cases than sata

Yeah okay, i wouldn't go rx 460 tho. At 800$ the fx 480 or gtx 1060 are the 2 options 2 go for imo.
