It was just released with a price of $115 and barely anyone has reviewed it. I want to get this to use with my i5-7600k and want to overclock. Is this a good option? Should I possibly go with something around $140 instead? I'm not 100% sure if this motherboard is good or not, as it's the lowest end released. This is possibly because Kaby Lake is somewhat new. Is this okay for overclocking?

Due to there only being a 4+2 power phase, you probably aren't going to hit anything crazy on this. If overclocking is important to you, you may want to step up to something a little more geared towards OCing, like this: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157738&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-PCPartPicker,%20LLC-_-na-_-na-_-na&cm_sp=&AID=10446076&PID=3938566&SID=

It has a 10 phase power delivery and huge heatsinks, and some nice extra features, and you can get $10 off of the 7600K if you buy them together. Hope I helped :)

Thanks a lot! I only see the discount for the i5-6600k. Oh well, it's only $10 haha!
