Hey,
i'm probably going to buy the gtx 1060 g1 gaming 6gb and an i5 6600k, the problem is, i don't know what mobo to buy. I'm a noob with motherboards, dont know almost anything, i've been thinking about the GA-Z170X-Gaming 3 but i don´t know if its compatible with the gpu and cpu.

(Dont have to answer these questions, but is the mobo and the gpu gonna fit or are they compatible with my case? My case is an Antec gx 700. Also, what cpu cooler do you recommend me?)
Btw, what games am i gonna be able to play? (Sorry xd)
Thanks in advance.

Any Skylake board will have the necessary connectors for your GPU. The difference is number of PCIE slots, M2 slots, USB 3.0 headers, DDR4 RAM support etc. What you need to use determines which you get, but I'd recommend a z170 with a k chip or you wont be able to overclock. One without the other is pointless.

You'll be able to play pretty much any game with that CPU/GPU combo.

A good air cooler will be fine. The more expensive ones are quieter usually, but performance wont change a lot. Check the CFM of the cooler. Anything at or above 50CFM will be plenty.

Your case can support any 2x140mm water cooler, or any air cooler up to 172mm, which includes most. It;'ll also fit any ATX or Micro ATX board.

As usual, budget is the biggest...
