Montherboards...

So.. looking to buy a PC, and i honestly have almost no clue how to choose a motherboard, and what is its optimal price.
What i've currently went for: 

• GIGABYTE GEFORCE GTX1060 WINDFORCE OC 6GB
• INTEL® CORE™ I5-7600K 3.8 GHZ 6M LGA1151 [Screenshot NR.1 vs Screenshot NR.2] <--- LoL...
• Kingston 8GB 2666MHz DDR4 CL15 HyperX Fury Black KIT OF 2
• NZXT S340 Elite Mid-Tower ATX Black/Blue

Now, i dont know much about PSUs either, besides the fact that i shouldn't get a shady one  that is the "most important part" since that can get your money burnt in seconds.
Can anyone explain to me motherboards?

P.S i know AMD should be the way i should go but i DO NOT like AMD... *sorry AMD fans..

Don't get a 7600K, get a 7700 non K with a B250 motherboard

no need to be sorry, every one has their tastes. As you stated a k cpu you'll want to go with the z chip set to allow for overclocking.

Yup. No prob if you like Intel better. Like he said, get a z series mob (preferably a Z270 if your CPU is Kaby Lake)

Buy a z270. I would reccomend Asus or MSI. For psu anything gold certified from corsair and the evga g2 or g3 are good

It depends on what you want to have as features on the motherboard. Then do you have a brand you prefer? Then look a few of the choices up, if there are tests.

 

I usually got with the Fatal1ty brand for some time, not the 1st in specs but decent and for what they offer well priced. (Started way back with an Abit Fatal1ty, now Asrock) 

 

With a 7600K cpu from intel you need a Z2xx chipset if you want to go on overclocking and use it to it's full potential. Think to get a decent cpu cooling. Either Air or water. 

 

For PSUs, Seasonic, Cooler Master, Super Flower, etc... spend a little more on those.

Its gotta be air.. dont want to have a leak that destroys everything, P.S most likely to build it myself  P.S.S first build ever besides tinkering with old PCs

Gigabyte GA-Z270-GAMINGK3
Not Really themed together at the moment.. but just going for the general concept.. ya know...

For PSU: Take anything tier 3 or above on the PSU tier list in my sig (ideally tier 1 or 2)

For motherboard, just get the cheapest Z270 motherboard that looks good in your build

or get a 7700K and get the cheapest Z270 / B250 (Which are usually much cheaper) motherboard that looks good in your build.

 

if you need any special motherboard features, like wifi or double M.2 slots etc. then you need to narrow your search to only those that have the features you need.
