A motherboard to support Intel i7-5820K

[Hootla1]

Hi, can someone help me out?

I need a few motherboards recommended that will support an Intel i7-5820K Processor.

Thanks

To be fair, you have been all over the place, on what you want. DB suggested a non k 6700. The 6700k is a different CPU altogether. http://pcpartpicker.com/parts/compare/intel-cpu-bx80662i76700,intel-cpu-bx80662i76700k/

The 6700 comes with a cooler. It is a locked CPU, not meant for overclocking.

The 6700k does not come with a cooler. It is an unlocked CPU, and is meant for overclocking.

What would you recommend?

To be honest, I don't think you are quite ready for overclocking, until you take the time to learn more about hardware. I would suggest you stick with the 6700. Overclocking, when you are not sure what you are doing, can destroy hardware.

Ok, so 6700, then what cooler?

You don't have to get one, for the 6700. If you want better/quieter cooling anyway, the Cryorig H7 is a nice cooler, and fits in most standard sized cases.

Ok, so this is what I want?

Asus Z170 Pro Gaming Motherboard
i7 6700
HyperX Fury Black Series 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) 2133 MHz DDR4 CL14 UDIMM Memory Kit

A Z170 board is meant for overclocking. Unless you want SLI support, stick with the H170 board.

Yes, that will work just fine.

Exactly. Just so. The 6700 I recommended comes with a cooler. You do not need to buy a separate one unless you want to, which I believe I said before.

The 6700k needs an aftermarket cooler, if you plan to overclock, and does not come with a cooler.

The non-k 6700 is a much higher performer than your 860k, so much so that it's probably at MINIMUM like doubling the performance of your current configuration. Anything you can't game at max settings with the i7-6700 will be due to your graphics card, not the CPU.

Just to take a step back here, you started off asking about a Haswell-E CPU motherboard, but it seems you don't have the Haswell-E processor. You seem to already have an AMD motherboard, but you don't have have an AMD CPU.

Could you please list all of the parts you already have on hand? The other guys know what they are talking about, but the back and forth I'm seeing makes me concerned you will connect parts together that simply don't work together. You might also have existing parts like a case, power supply, storage drive, possibly even RAM that you can re-use, but we can't be sure really. So best to just double-check everything.

To get the highest performance, you do want an Intel based system, as AMD will hold the graphics card you picked out back quite a bit.
