You did not ask but you should consider what I learned after building my $1200 computer. I realized I also needed a $400 dollar monitor to see all these wonderful graphics displayed.

Recommending, EVGA Z170 FTW or Classified K, $190-FTW, $280-Classified K. The difference is USB 3.1 and 4 additional Sata, So ide get the FTW. Seems to me were you feel comfortable spending money is the EVGA product line.

I kind of am mixed on the 6700K outperforming previous generations, the same can be said for latency on the ddr4. In 6 months time for that same price point you can get a NVidia card with stacked hbm X-series and skylake is releasing a new lineup with some serious gaming contenders 6800,6850,6900,6950. This is not the season to spend 2k on a system.
