Im building my first pc for mainly college school work/productivity and some light gaming (league of legends, DOTA II, Diablo III minecraft etc...). This is my first ever build and would like suggestions on what z170 motherboard i should buy. I am looking for one with a really user friendly BIOS and between $100-$160/$170 ($170 being the ABSOLUTE MAX if needed). Thanks!

Not sure if it matches the color scheme of your build or not, but you really cannot go wrong with this motherboard :

Asus Z170-A ATX board : http://www.amazon.com/dp/B012NH05UW/?tag=pcpapi-20

It's from Asus, a company you can trust. It's a beast for overclocking too, if that is what you are looking for.

You can check out this review ( http://www.anandtech.com/show/9729/the-asus-z170-a-motherboard-review ) for more information. They have a whole review page covering just the BIOS because you mentioned that you need a user friendly BIOS. Check the review out and decide for yourself if this suits you or not.
