my thought, please be more specific about what we need to give our opinion of (not only MOBO) so we can help you more.

What CPU do you want to put in it? If it's not a K series, it's fine. If it is, go Z170.

Do you already have the CPU? If yes, see above. If not, get an H270 (or B250) motherboard instead, since it offers slight improvements (native support for Kaby Lake, support for Intel Optane, more PCIe lanes, etc.) at roughly the same price (depending on where you live). Advice on the K series CPU still applies, though (only go for Z270 instead of Z170).

My bad for not putting any specific information. I was rushing to class and now I edit it

Thoughts about?

 

6600k cannot be overclocked with H series mobo.

6600k can be overclocked with Z series mobo.
