I am waiting to buy new PC,I considered couple of things, here goes my statement :
z170 based Gigabyte Gaming 3 advertised giving 16Gbps USB 3.1 speed , z270 based similar motherboard z270x gaming 5,
chipset is still offering usb 3.0 (or 3.1 gen1). Even nothing is new in storage or section , slots also.
yes z270 has 24 pci lane. but 7700k is still offering 16 pci lanes as same as 6700k.
Overclocking to 4000Mhz is not generally intended by me, Only one unclear thing is Optane storage , But for this, the same naming (just as z170x gaming 3 , z270x gaming 3) is costing me 10-25 more usd in my country. So overall I think its not worth, I am considering a z170 with 7700k.
One more question, the performance will be utlized fully in 100 series motherboard ?
