hello i am currently in the process of upgrading my pc and am upgrading most of my parts the only parts i am keeping are my 750 Watt powersupply and am keeping my 128GB SSD CORSAIR FORCE LX SATA3 SSD DRIVE. anyway i am upgrading to a i5-8600k gtx 1070 and corsair vengeance DDR4 16GB of ram. However i am looking for a motherboard that will be compatible with all of these aswell as compatible with my SSD i already have. if anyone can point me in the direction of a decent motherboard that is compatible with all those parts it would be extremely helpful thank you :).

Yeah, that one looks just fine to me.

One thing I forgot, are you keeping your existing case? If so, which one is it? Need to make sure it supports ATX-size mobos like the one you linked. On other consideration is how many case fans you have. That mobo only has two fan headers, so if you have more than two you either need some splitters or a fan hub.

Any 300 series chipset motherboard would be compatible:https://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&IsNodeId=1&N=100007627%20601306867

How many sticks of RAM do you have? If you have 4 sticks, make sure to get a mobo with 4 memory slots.

If you want to overclock, you'd need a Z370 chipset motherboard:https://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&IsNodeId=1&N=100007627%20601303737
