I would suggest a ASUS board. Currently I am using ASUS Z270e ROG strix mobo. It is full of features. Although if you don't want to spend that much you can take a look at ASUS Z270f model.

Hi, I don't think the i7 6800k will be compatible with your motherboard. Get a z270 motherboard and Intel i7 7700k if your primary need is gaming.

I7 6800k is a six Core processor that won't benefit you in gaming as clocks are lower than i7 7700k. And whichever processor you choose, you need to upgrade your motherboard.
