Choosing A Z170 Motherboard

[AimanS]

Guys, i am planning on doing my 1st pc build. I was wondering about which motherboard to choose. Can you guys help me choose which is the best overall? I was looking at the Asus Maximus VIII Hero Alpha, it's good but the red accents will spoil the theme. I think i'm going to build a black and white themed pc build.

My Planning Specs:-
i7-6700k
corsair vengeance lpx ddr4 3000mhz
msi sea hawk x gtx 1080
samsung 850 evo 250gb
wd black 2tb
evga g2 850w
corsair 400c

What's the budget for your entire rig?
You can greatly improve on value, I can likely get two 1080s in there nearly. 😛
The Z170-A is the board you want.
