My 980 has just died so I decided to just buy an entirely new system (keeping PSU and case because they're only a few months old).

So far I've decided that I'm getting:

i7-6700k
Asus GTX 1080
8GB (2x4) Corsair DDR4 RAM

Here comes the conundrum, I am choosing between the MSi Z170 M3 or the M5.

I don't have any M.2 components and I don't want to SLI, is there any point in going for the M5?

I am getting the m5 with a similar build to yours it does what i want it to with the option of m.2 though i did find out if you use a m.2 slot you can use the sata express port
