I'm putting together parts for my first build. So far I've purchased:

- Corsair 540 case
- i7 6700k

I need a MOBO compatible with the Skylake chipset. I also intend to pick up the new Samsung 950 SSD so PCI lanes is a consideration. I was told that any DDR4 memory would do and seen the Corsair Vengeance 2x8GB 2400hz was reasonably priced on amazon. This is for a high performance gaming rig.

Any suggestions or advice you guys could give would be greatly appreciated.

I'd highly recommend the ASUS MAXIMUS VIII HERO. It's a great motherboard made a quality manufacturer and satisfies your requirements.
