Hey guys just wondering my budget for a new mobo, processor, and operating system will be around 500 dollars.
Would the Gigabyte Z170X go well with a Intel 6600K CPU?
And so would it perform well for overclocking and gaming?
If you have a better recommendation feel free to make a list on Pcpartpicker.

Here is what I'm thinking about for right now

Both solid choices. Ofcourse this will work, and it will be a powerful setup. Make sure you get high speed DDR4 RAM, over 2800 Mhz.
