I would like to find a motherboard that works well with my Core I5 6500. I want it to be atx since I have the room in my Ultra Case. I would like to be able to add usb 3.1 to it but it does not need to come with it.
 
Solution
look at the asus a or ar mb or the asrock z170 mb. even though your using a locked cpu the z170 or the newer 200 chipset mb that dropping in a few weeks will let you upgrade to any newer cpu with a bios update latter on.


I picked some options, you can check more if you want at:

All of them are with chipset Z170. Eventhough you dont need the Z170 chipset since your processor is the I5 6500 (without K for OverclocK) I still like to use the Z170 due to all other features this excelent chipset offers (I personally have the Z170M-D3H with a I5 6600 but this is microATX and without USB 3.1, so it doesn´t suit you)
