before we start, (future pc specs): http://pcpartpicker.com/p/XqvDCJ

or just simply:

CPU: Intel Core i5-6600K 3.5GHz Quad-Core Processor

CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212X 82.9 CFM CPU Cooler

Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z170X-UD3 ATX LGA1151 Motherboard

Memory: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-2666 Memory

Storage: Samsung 850 EVO-Series 250GB 2.5" Solid State Drive

Storage: Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive

Video Card: (i'll wait for the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070)

Case: NZXT H440 (Matte Black) ATX Mid Tower Case

Power Supply: Corsair RMx 650W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply

Wireless Network Adapter: TP-Link TL-WN725N 802.11b/g/n USB 2.0 Wi-Fi Adapter

Other: Anti static wrist wrap

(i didnt buy the pc parts yet, and it's my first build

Now the questions: which is better Gigabyte GA-Z170X-UD3 or MSI Gaming Z170A KRAIT GAMING and WHY?
i like the msi because it has more USBs but the problem it doesn't have a USB type-c (which is okay since i don't have a usb type-c cable...YET)

(The msi is the same price as the gigabyte after $40 discount plus it comes with rainbow six siege (i already have it so i'll sell it and get some money back))

MSI MOBO

GIGABYTE MOBO

also i'm not planning to do sli any time soon nor 1440p or above

if you see anything wrong with my build just tell me, Thanks :)
 
Go for the Gigabyte board itself.
