I am building a new computer and i can't decide or choose what would be a good LGA 1151 motherboard for me.

I will be using an Intel Core i7 6700K, 16GB Kingston Hyper X Fury DDR4 and a GTX 980 ti G1 from gygabyte. I am not planning to overclock a lot, although i will appreciate the feature. I don't really mind the looks, for all i care it could be neon pink and artic white and i would still buy it if was good, but i has to be ATX size. With that said, i have a budget up to 200-210€ for the motherboard.

I really hope you can help, thanks in advance.
 

And what about the Gaming 7? Is it worth it or should i stick to the Gaming 5?
