Should I wait? I plan on getting a Kaby Lake CPU, so I'm gonna have to wait on getting a working computer anyways, but I'm finding really good deals on Z170 motherboards. Is it worth the wait for Z270 or should Z170 be fine. I really don't know to much about the new motherboards. Do you guys know anything?

z170 or z270 up to yourself buddie. google skylake and kabylake. i see no difference or any implemented changes in kabylake clockspeed thats about it. if you want to save a few pounds. go for the skylake future proof for a good couple of years. then wait till cannonlake is released to get an upgrade to a new cpu and mobo

I got a shibby $98 Gigabyte z170 hd3p and a i6 6600k back in march. I've been mulling the idea of getting the msi z270 sli plus and i7 7700k so I can run hyperthreaded and have it at 5.0 o.c. and then get a second 1070.
