I feel as though this is my build that i believe is perfect for me but I struggle with deciding on a mother board.

build:
https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/bZk6Fd

im considering changing the graphics card to something cheaper (about $300) for the same performance and the cpu could also change. The mother board is what im stuck on choosing. Idk which mother board is good for this setup or if I should go more expensive or what.

Any help is much appreciated. Thanks!

For around the same price, you can go for the newer 7th gen i5-7500. You can also go for a newer motherboard that also supports up to 2400MHz ram, to making full use of the 2400MHz that you chose. You can also go for a cheaper GTX1060 with a slightly lower boost clock like you mentioned, or you can go for the RX580, which is a refresh/OC version of RX480.

It would look something like this:
