i7 6700k motherboard

[sangone]

I was planning on using this one > https://www.amazon.it/gp/product/B01NCEGBY5/ref=ox_sc_act_title_4?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A3HQLBC6V3N3T But I have several questions.. will this make any problems with bios updates and all that stuff ? because its gonna be my first time building and yeah.. Is the motherboard good enough as its not the most common one nor it costs alot so was just thinking if those 30 or 40 dollars plus are worth for a gigabyte or those shiny brands.

This motherboard will do just fine. No there is not going to be any bios update needed, even if you upgrade to Kaby Lake in the future.
I'd say you should stick with it, looks pretty reliable and I generally don't trust Gigabyte motherboards.

If you got a Z170 board and a Kabylkae processor part, like an i7-7700K then you'd be facing the BIOS update issue. In short no you won't face any problems when working the other way round.

Ideally you should be looking at getting an i7-7700K to pair with that Z270 board.

But it works just fine with 6700k and z270 too right

Yes, it will run perfectly fine.

To be honest on that price point you can do better.

problem is i want the 144hz

I don't understand why you need to quote each others posts, it just means more scrolling through this thread.

That being said, OP, this build
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/twJKbj
is more expensive but the money spent towards each component is justified. More frequency on the rams since you should be able to hit above 2800MHz on the rams. SK Hynix SSD's are cream of the crop and at that price point they are a good deal. Sticking with a GTX1070 since you're going overkill for a 1080p monitor even though it's at 144Hz. Fan is not needed and the case would look much better with an AIO in it.

I could build you something in matx and come up a little shorter in budget but as it stands you've got some beefy parts.

Lastly, I tried to pass on a neutral color scheme.

Okay, well I reassembled the parts. It's gonna be hard to get you everything in that price point. So you'll have to spend a bit more and you'll get almost everything the same with a 144 hz monitor:
