Hello, im planning on upgrading my personal rig with an i7 6700K and im looking to buy a good gaming motherboard for my budget, im looking to spend about $550 not including the cpu, i was looking if there were any good combos with the cpu I have, im also looking for sli support.

If you have $550 extra to spend on a mobo you might want to get a 6800k w/ an X99 board. Considering your full budget including the CPU is around $900, I made a better combo for you:

PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant

CPU: Intel Core i7-6850K 3.6GHz 6-Core Processor ($607.99 @ SuperBiiz)
Motherboard: MSI X99A GAMING PRO CARBON ATX LGA2011-3 Motherboard ($319.99 @ SuperBiiz)
Total: $927.98
Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available

This CPU has great SLI support with its 40 PCIe lanes and it comes with a great X99 board.

If your really want just a i7-6700k, this would be overkill but good:

CPU: Intel Core i7-6700K 4.0GHz Quad-Core Processor ($328.99 @ SuperBiiz)
Motherboard: Asus ROG MAXIMUS VIII HERO ALPHA ATX LGA1151 Motherboard ($254.99 @ B&H)
Total: $583.98

Im just looking to spend around $220 on the mobo, because the cpu is $ 330

Both are good mobos, just the one is white and I didn't know if you had a color preference or anything.

Good luck and feel free to ask any more questions!
