I'm gonna build a pc and these are my potential specs

i7 6700k
GTX 1070 Gigabyte G1
16gb rams

I want help choosing the best of these GPUs for best FPS/performance in game

1-Gigabyte GA-H170-Gaming 3
2-MSI Z170A KRAIT GAMING
3-MSI H170 GAMING M3
4-Asus Z170 Pro Gaming

I would buy the Asus board. I've read that the MSI Krait has bad positioning for the SATA ports.

EDIT: For GPU, the 1070 is a great choice, if you can...

You want a Z170 board since you want to overclock. Both of the Z170's that you referenced are fine.

Did you also want suggestions on GPU's?

Hope this helps!
