Hello,

I have a i7 6700k and was looking for a cheap mini itx motherboard to turn my behemoth of a case into a mitx cube pc. I am not looking to overclock so it doens't have to be z170, h170 would work (the 6700k was cheaper than the 6700 on black friday for some reason) would this be a good choice?

http://www.amazon.co.uk/MSI-Lga1151-H110I-Mini-Itx-Motherboard/dp/B018XP37TY/ref=sr_1_1?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1455138045&sr=1-1&keywords=MSI+Computer+Mini+ITX+DDR4+LGA+1151+Motherboards+H110I+PRO

It will have 16gb ddr4 and a GTX 980 ti FTW from EVGA in it.

Thanks

I'm more inclined to suggest the H170 chipset over the H110 for PCIe 3.0 (H110 limited to 2.0) & mSATA support.
A bit of a read, but a summary of the differences: https://www.pugetsystems.com/labs/articles/Z170-H170-H110-B170-Q150-Q170---What-is-the-Difference-635/

Those look solid options, depending whether you want Wifi or not.

Remember:
1. if you go H170, you're limited with your DDR4 speeds to 2133MHz.
2. The 6600k most likely didn't come with a stock cooler, so going cube sized ,you'll have to give some solid consideration to your available room for cooling the CPU.
