I am planning a major build over the course of the next few months.
My build plans are
Skylake (sabertooth mark 1 z170 or asus z170 delux)
i7 6700k
H110i gtx
Corsair dominator platinum 16gb
Samsung 850 Evo 250gb and a 1tb
Corsiar rm850x
Asus ROG 1080 O8G.
Everything is set firm but the mobo can't decide between the z170 delux or the sabertooth mark 1? Both are great mobo but which one to pick.

Buy a supermicro as an owner of The Z170Z Mark 1 the boot time is ridiculously slow my two Dell laptops boot faster than this MoBo. On the + side once it's running it's blazing fast! Specs Asus Sabertooth Z170Z Mark 1 32Gb DDR4 2100 Cosair vengeance Ram Seagate 1TB SSHD HD, Intel i7 7600K 4.0Ghz, EVGA GT 740SC 4GB Superclocked, SoundBlaster Z, Sabrent USB 3.0 SD card Reader, 1000 watt PSU, 8 120MM case fans Hyper EVO212 Processor cooler, LG BluRay/ Burner, Gigabyte Wireless/Blutooth, Logitech MX800 Wireless keyboard and mouse. As you can see from the specs I should be able to take over the planet with this PC! A piece of advice stay away from NVIDIA/EVGA had to RMA the card and if you don't mind waiting 25 seconds for boot the board is...

If I had it to do over I would have bought a Supermicro instead, you can't kill those boards! PS ASUS tech support are pretty much a troop of monkey's with instruction manuals honestly you'd be better off getting help from a bunch of bananas.
