I'm looking for a reliable gaming, black, green accented motherboard (or fully black, I don't care much). Some of the requirements are that it has to be an LGA 1151 socket, support 2-way SLI or more, have an audio optical out, and be under $350 dollars.

If you guys do have suggestions on a CPU/ motherboard combo that includes similar performance to the i5-6600(k) with a different socket, and the same features or more, I am all ears. Thanks for helping me out!

The only black/green motherboard that suits your requirements is the Supermicro MBD-X11SAE-F-O, but I've no idea the quality of the brand.

The best motherboard I can suggest for your requirements is the Asus SABERTOOTH Z170 MARK 1. It's a beast of a board, and just under $330 CAD (so should be way lower in USD).

ya can try the asrock motherboards they cheaper sometimes and sometime got a lot more othions as far as cpu bedependent on the board ya choose and what ya willing to spend just for a cpu .

some peeps say asrock sucks . they just aint ben around that long they make great boards love my asrock 990 fx extreme 6.

asrock is actually a spin off of asus aka sister company till asus split over another subsidiaryt forgot the name but that sub sidieary is now controlling asrock . some say they no longer associated with asus but the company that now owns and runs asrock .asus still owns stock in just not controlling ahare hehe.
