Will my motherboard bottleneck the system?

I recently received the GIGABYTE G1 Sniper B7 as a gift. I will be building it with the following components:

i5-6600k
MSI GTX 1070 FE
Corsair Vengeance LPX 32gb

I understand that the motherboard would not allow me to overclock, but I am using this motherboard temporarily until I have saved enough money to upgrade. So the question is, will the motherboard negatively affect the performance? Any help is appreciated!

no it should not bottleneck you at all. Granted a board that would allow overclocking would allow your CPU to stretch it legs further with an OC but even at stock speeds the i5 6600k is a decent CPU (save BF1 which eats as many threads as you can through at it so OC won't help much). Point being you should have a good gaming experience until you can get a OC friendly chipset.
