I am buying a new motherboard for my now cpu that I am using. I was eyeballing the EVGA Z170 FTW Motherboard. Is this a good motherboard or are there better options? Also i am using Ripjaw V 3200mhz DDR4 16gb RAM.

It is fine if you don't plan on doing any over clocking.

For a full size board I would expect a more robust power design.
That board has 6 phase power on the newest models, with some I think having 5.

My Asus ITX board which is tiny in comparison has 8 phase power.

My wife uses a EVGA z170 Stinger, which is a 4 phase board.

Her 6400 took a nice OC, but nothing compared to what i could have gotten it to on an 8 phase board.
