I have an MSI Z170 Tomahawk. I love it but some people don't like MSI. Gigabyte makes cheap Z170's.

 

In case you don't know- you need Z170 to OC

You willing to spend on expensive 960 evo, a 1070 but you want a budget mobo? How small is that budget?

check my part picker link. All prices are in USD. Things that are zero dollars I got from relatives. Things that are very cheap are due to constant tabs on eBay and jumping on a bargain.

Just saying. The budget Z170s are cheap for a reason. They have worse audio and build quality and lack M.2 slots and proper I/O. 

 

If you can't afford a nicer one that's cool, those boards will work fine, but spending only like $20-$40 more will net you a much nicer board

It does have m. 2 actually, and it doesn't have OC, like I stated.
