Is it possible to get fan header extender plugs and what results would you think I would get if I play vr gamesYes, all looks compatible. And you shouldn't have to worry about needing a BIOS update for the board to recognize the CPU. Should be a decent 1080p/60Hz gamer.
Lots o case fans, though. Might get noisy if they can't be speed controlled. The board only has a single 4-pin fan header (aside from the CPU fan header).
Oh, and no CPU bottleneck.

I’m pretty sure it supports five mate I already have the case in my possessionOut of interest, what are you planning on doing with 8 or 9 fans when the case only supports 3?
What results would you think I would get if I play vr gamesThe case I was looking at appeared to support 3 fans and had 3 installed already. Must be a different case. My mistake then.

Would you you mind telling me your pc specsI don't know as that's not something I'm very familiar with. I think it should average around 120 FPS in the Steam VR performance test though if that's any help. For reference, the PC in my sig averages around 110.
That’s a beast pc mate, what was the base clock of your cpu since your mobo is able to ocSorry. I thought it was visible to all at the bottom of my posts. Here's the basics.
Intel i5-6600K @4.5GHz on Gigabyte Z170-Gaming K3 motherboard, 16GB HyperX Predator DDR4-3333 RAM, Sapphire Pulse RX 570 graphics @1950MHz GPU & 1400MHz VRAM, Windows 10 Pro on Samsung 970 EVO Plus 500GB NVMe M.2 SSD
Can you give me a mobo that supports 3200mhzThe i5-8400 has a memory bandwidth of nearly 42GB/s, so anything slower than DDR4-3200 will bottleneck it slightly. Minimum framerates in some games will suffer with anything less.
For reference, performance gains on the overclocked i5-6600K scale pretty well all the way up to DDR4-3333.
