Any specific motherboards?

I am also thinking of doing the exact same thing 
so i would reccomned Any Z270 mobo the rest is up to you 
you want m.2?Up to how much memory speed ?What I/O you want

personally i want to buy the Asus Prime Z270a https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/PRIME-Z270-A/ (170Euros in my country)
but that is because my pc theme is white/blue colour and you might want something more simple for example the Asrock Fatal1ty Z270 Gaming K4  http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/Fatal1ty Z270 Gaming K4/ (Around the same price range)
But honestly it is up to you
find something you can afford and has all the  ports/ios/connections you will use or you think you will use in the future dont go overkill

I'm going to upgrade my pc soon, but I dont really know wich motherboard I should get.

I'm either getting a i5-7600k or a i7-7700k, so I need overclocking capabilities.

I would also like to get sli graphics cards, and atlease 1 m.2 slot.

If you could leave your recommendations that would be excelent

The pc is going to be used for gaming

I'm going to change pretty much the entire pc...

You can keep the HDD and case.
What are your main use? Gaming? Streaming? Editing?

I just want recommendations for a motheboard, I know how to make custom waterloops, I've done it 3 times already (hard pipe)

Great.
IMO, any Z series mobo with VRM heatsink will do. More expensive mobo doesn't always contribute to better OC or longer lifespan. I suggest Asus or Gigabyte mobos personally.
