Hey,

The main difference is that the 1st and 3rd board are X99 ( LGA 2011 ) and the 3rd on are LGA 1151. All boards support DDR4, but support different CPUs.

so since I have an LGA 1151 chip i should get the 3rd link. right?

First thing: there are two X99 boards (socket 2011 version 3, made for 6- or 8-core extreme i7 CPU) while the second link is for a Z170 (using the "standard" 1151 socket supporting up to a quad-core i7).

The second (Z170) is the only one that supports the 1151 chip.

is there a X99A gaming pro carbon for LGA 1151?

The X99 chipset doesn't support anything but LGA 2011 v3. That's an expensive platform and for the mainstream 1151 socket the highest chipset available currently is Z170

ok, What motherboard would you recommend, im really looking for an MSI board, I prefer a red and black board to match the rest of my build

The board you have there is good but is probably overkill and could be more expensive than what you need (particularly if you don't plan to run multiple GPU). The Gaming M3 or M5 will save you a bit (which you might put elsewhere: that SSD is a bit on the small side, for example)

Ok thank you very much!

Why do you even need z170 with non OC cpu , better get H170 or atleast get 6700k if you want to overclock it.
