I am building my first PC, it will be for console recording (with an elgato), video editing, and some light PC gaming.
I still have not decided if I am going to get the i5 6500 or i5 6600k for my processor, but I am leaning towards the 6600k.
If I do get it I know I need a z170 motherboard, but I am not sure what the best one to get is.

So far, here are the ones I have looked at:
https://pcpartpicker.com/product/Q9Gj4D/asus-motherboard-z170a
https://pcpartpicker.com/product/C4s8TW/asus-motherboard-sabertoothz170s
https://pcpartpicker.com/product/9L2rxr/asus-motherboard-z170p

I will definitely check out any others anyone suggests.
Any advice on a good motherboard to get would be greatly appreciated, and I do not care if it has built in wi-fi or not.

Thanks!

The Sabertooth is obviously the best but it's also quite high cost.

The ASRock Fatal1ty Z170 K4 might be a good Option for you as it comes with better features than most boards in it's price range

The Gigabyte Gaming 5 & 6 are also great boards.

The Asus Pro Gaming as well.

As if the AsRock Z170 OC formular, if you're willing to spend that much on a board and to really OC your cpu

Just comes down to price/availability in the end
