Hey there, this is my first post so I appreciate anyone's help! I have an old i5 750 cpu and am ready to upgrade to skylake. I've read the big write-up about many of the Z170 motherboards for the skylake cpus but I've gotten a little lost in the specs and don't really know which price range will suit my modest needs.
I will be mostly gaming, and I have a single GTX 970 that I don't plan on upgrading for a few years. I have no interest in SLI, and while I will likely tweak a few settings to overclock the i5 6600K, I don't think I need all the advanced overclock features the more expensive Z170 boards offer. (no need for water cooling, etc.)
I'd prefer to spend <$200 on the MB since I will also be buying DDR4 ram and the CPU. Could anyone with a little knowledge of the new Z170 boards let me know which price range or particular board(s) would suit my single GPU setup? Thanks!
