So this is my setup:
CPU: I7 6700K
GPU: Gigabyte Gaming G1 1080
RAM: Hyper X 2x16GB (1600Mhz) CL 9 DDR3
Powersupply: EVGA Supernova 850G2 Gold edition
HDD: 1 TB WD Blue
1. SSD: Samsung 950 Evo 256Gb NmVe M.2(Just the operating system)
2. SSD: Samsung 850 Pro 256Gb(Games and such)
Motherboard: Asus Z170-P D3
CPU cooler: Noctua NH D15
Case: Phantecs Enthoo Pro

Periferals:

Monitor: Asus ROG Swift PG279Q
Speakers: M-Audio AV32
Headset: Kingston HyperX Cloud 2
Mouse: Logitech G502
Mouse pad: SteelSeries QcK Heavy
Keyboard: G.SKILL RIPJAWS KM780 RGB Mechanical Gaming Keyboard


Currently im contemplating buying a better motherboard like a quad channel one and 32 Gb of DDR4 3000Mhz RAM, but the thing is i need a CPU which supports that.
Nothing is overclocked yet im thinking of overclocking my CPU and GPU but im holding on for that until i get a better motherboard.

My question is what should i do next for my build? Wait for a better CPU and switch to it which supports quad channel and then buying motherboard and RAM or what.
Any suggestion is appreciated

Yeah no need for an upgrade imo... Are you having Performance issues or you need more? If it's not enough for you upgrading the GPU would be the only real pathway everything else is fine for a high-end Gaming build. Only thing i can notice is you listed DDR3 running with your 6700K?

So you would suggest not even considering going the quad channel route and just buying the best mobo i can find and a dual channel RAM kit? Is this a good board compared to the one you mentioned Asus Maximus IX Formula?
