Hi.

I am looking for a motherboard to overclock a i7 5820K. I was looking at this motherboard:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/MSI-X99A-Sli-Plus-Motherboard/dp/B00V4V4SFC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1481036110&sr=8-1&keywords=LGA+2011-v3+motherboard

Is it good for overclocking or should I get something else.

Also can a 600w seasonic PSU handle a GTX 1070 and this CPU with 16GB DDR4 ram.

 

Thanks.

PC Specs:

 
Core I5 4690K CPU
Gigabyte GTX 960 windforce 4GB GDDR5 GPU
Corsair 100R case
Seasonic 620W S12-II PSU
Kingston SSDNow 120GB SSD
Toshiba 1TB HDD
Asrock H97 Pro4 motherboard
8GB panram DDR3 1600 RAM
Windows 10 home 64 bit

You linked the CPU (great deal by the way) and not the motherboard. Budget? Honestly most X99 motherboards are pretty good and the motherboard doesn't have a huge impact on overclocking. Maybe an Asus X99-A II or ROG Strix depending on what color scheme you want? You can get cheaper ones if you want.

The link you posted is for the CPU.

 

The 6000 watt Seasonic is more than enough.

That's good but I'd get this instead if it was me: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01FI1HQM0/?tag=pcp0f-21

The Taichi is also a good option.

If you don't like the white color scheme just go with the one you suggested or if you want RGB get the Asus ROG Strix.

Currently, motherboards have very little if any impact on performance. Buy any motherboard from Asus, MSI, Gigabyte, or EVGA (or Asrock, i just dont have experience with them) and they will be solid quality.
