I use an MSI z170A SLI or PCMate. Good bang for the budgetary buck. I went PCMate because it was just cheaper and I don't plan on using SLI. The PCMate just isn't SLI capable everything else is about the same. I have i i7 6700k and gigabyte 1070. Pretty smooth so far (3months)

I am having so much trouble but I have an i7 6700K. Using ge force optimal settings I only hit 60 fps. 1080p @ 60hz. That did solve your issue?

I use the MSI z170 PC Mate. Went budget to have more room for GPU :)

I OC my cpu i7 with 1070 and get 60 steady FPS.

In these situations the advice I give is to go best of breed, meaning the one with the higher performance. 1060 is good for the now but 1070 is essentially the future proofed version (as the 1080 is the future proofed of that but can't justify that price) I think down the line you'll be more...

For 1080p @ 60Hz the GTX 1060 will be ideal. Only get the 1070 if you think you will go 1440p at some point (in your case you want to future proof). As far as differences go I mean the 1070 have better performance, even on that 1080 @ 60hz monitor (more fps, better benchmarks etc)

The fact that you went with the i7 6700K I personally would go with the 1070 because A) Best of Breed B) High Return on Investment . In my opinion, you are essentially "future proofing". Only thing to upgrade in the future would be your monitor.

I actually went from the i5 6600k to the i7 6700k. You could possibly bottleneck in some areas but I did so out of going "best of breed" not necessarily based on performance. That way with my 1070 I shouldn't have to upgrade anything for a while.

This is what I went with https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0148NNKTC/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 pretty smooth

It has a high return rate. My first MSI z170 sli I had to RMA. All sorts of problems..

Take out the cmos battery for like 5 minutes then try again. If that doesn't work then try putting it in another pcie slot to see if it will post..
