So, I am currently in the market for a new motherboard, CPU and RAM. My setup is a few years behind. I do have a GTX 1070 though. I would like to use everything else I already have. I am very partial to ASUS boards as I have had great experiences with them in many builds. Looking at an i5 7600k (which means a Z270 board but, which one). Looking to spend no more than $600 total on upgrades.

Used for:
-Streaming
-Triple Monitor Setup (currently doing this now)
-Gaming: MMOs (FFXIV, WoW, ESO), FPS and other as well.

If you would like any additional info, let me know. Thank you in advance.

I'd really like to recommend a Ryzen CPU but honestly I think you'd be better off with an i7 since you're mainly going to be playing very non-multithreaded MMOs and the like. This is what I'd recommend: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/9bPDNN, I put in a nice air cooler but you might want to keep your EVO depending on how much you want to overclock.
