Hello,
Building a new gaming rig soon and I need advice on the motherboard. Here is what I'm gonna need:
Z170 1151 socket for i5 6600K
ATX form factor
At least one M.2 32 Gb/s socket. A second one for future upgrade is a plus, not essential though.
USB 3.1, with one type C. If it could be on front panel, it's a big plus, but does that even exist?
Room for at least 2 3.5 SATA drives (HDD & optical drive).
SLI support for future upgrade is a plus.
High speed quality ethernet. Don't know about having 2 LAN ports, how does it help? Anyway I have only one ethernet cable coming from the box to the PC since they are far away. I have an ethernet hub but in the end all will go through the same cable.
Wifi is a plus, not essential.
Good 2.1 sound quality. 5.1/7.1 not required, I'd rather have better 2.1 sound than 5.1.
I'm new to overclocking but I wanna try so I'd like a reliable and easy to use OC, no need to be top-notch as I won't push for records.
Budget: max $200ish
Any advice?
Thanks!
