i am getting a new pc ,mostly for gaming. i am going with :
Intel CPU Core i7-5820K
16GB (4X4GB) DDR4 2666MHZ QUAD CHANNEL KIT
Gigabyte GTX TITAN X 12GB (and will go sli 3-4 months later)

now ,i have no idea on what i should go with for motherboard,since by reading various articles ,i am utterly confused .my main issue is that i dont want to bottleneck the other parts ,but i dont want to pay for things i wont use ,like overclocking or 4 way sli.Also i am not a fan of Assus,i preffer gigabyte or msi .currently i am thinking of GIGABYTE X99-Gaming 5

I would recommend the EVGA Classified if your budget isn't playing to much in your decision. It can do 4 way SLI plus a Physx card. But if you do not want to be spending that much on your Motherboard you could also check out the MSI x99s SLI Plus which is the "entry level" mobo, but it is no slouch.
