The Z170 Chipset for 6th Generation Skylake CPUs.
If you want to go full enthusiast, there is the 2011-3 socket which has the higher core offerings by Intel, but they are quite pricy with the exception of the 5820k.
Only recommended for gaming if you're into overclocks.
What is your budget for your build and are you overclocking?
I can put something together for you.

I have not overclocked it. I know enough about computers to build one and i have always wanted to but i do not know how and afraid that i will mess it all up.

Will i be fine with out Overclocking and if not how do i go about overclocking and not destroying my system.
