Hi everyone!

So I ordered a new motherboard the other day and I'm now having second thoughts on whether it's good enough. I plan on doing some light overclocking at some point in the future, but nothing crazy.

This mobo will be used with a i5 6600k and a r9 390.

I have been looking at other more expensive motherboards and wonder if I will be missing out on anything with the one I purchased.
Can any see something that this board is lacking in your opinion?

If anyone could tell me what they think I would appreciate it :)

Thanks in advance!

Most any Z170 motherboard will oc a 6600K decently to safe limits.

How easy it is will be dependent on the quality of your particular chip.
As of 2/16/16
What percent can get an overclock at a somewhat sane 1.40v Vcore.
I5-6600K
4.9 11%
4.8 38%
4.7 70%
4.6 83%

And... 14hm skylake runs cool; no exotic cooling is necessary.

Thanks for your answers so far.
I would probably only overclock it to like 4.2 or something like that for now.
I was just a bit worried because I'm very new to this.
Could't help but feel like I made a bad choice on the mobo.
