Im building a new pc, and im wondering which is a good gpu and motherboard for the i5 6600k

I want to know this so i dont have a bottle problem, or end up buying not the best combination of parts.

Any help regarding which parts i should choose is welcomed

It doesnt make sense because he is using a 6600k, so overclockable, but a mobo with the b150 chipset will not allow overclocking, therefore doesnt make sense.

Might look to the Asus Z170-A or Pro Gaming, and pair it up with 16GB (2x8GB) Gskill Ripjaws V 2800.

well how much do you have to spend on the board. A decent priced board for the 6600k would be around $140 USD. So I recommend these:
PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant

Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z170X-Gaming 3 ATX LGA1151 Motherboard ($126.50 @ B&H)
Total: $126.50
Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available

Your socket set is FCLGA1151. Most motherboards will list sockets supported as LGA1151. Im not sure what your budget is, but I enjoy getting the best of the best. And for the price GTX 970 is fantastic still for only 300-400 dollars. You can better the perfomance by getting a hybrid GPU that incorporates watercooling. You will find that your overclock abilities are greatly increased by implementng a good cooling system

Below are the reccomended parts if you have DDR3 RAM:

I can further help you if you give me a budge for the computer you want to build. and describe the other components that your interested

Regards,

Josh

right right, can you explain why it doesn't make sense? Im good at building computers but I have 10x more experience with AMD so it is quite possible that you know Intel motherboards more than I do.
