So,

I have pretty much decided on all parts for something i plan on making over this/next year, but for the board. I am definately going for a skylake so has to be 1151, and i don't do video editing so 2x8gb ram will be enough for now (in future when those 16gb DDR4 sticks are cheaper, i should be able to carry on with a board having only 2 slots, but hey i'm not saying no to 4)

All current parts are here: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/jmdPRB

So far these 3 are my favourite and fit the bill i'm after:

ASRock Z170M Extreme4 Micro ATX LGA1151 Motherboard £109.85
Gigabyte GA-Z170M-D3H Micro ATX LGA1151 Motherboard £90.98
Gigabyte GA-Z170MX-Gaming 5 Micro ATX LGA1151 Motherboard £131.99

note they are all mATX, my case "supposedly" fits full ATX, but i checked the dimensions and would rather lose the possibility of 2+ x16 slots and SLI capability, no plan at all for multi GPU, than setting up cable management with what space would be left.

Any help/comments/other suggestions welcome, i'm not biased against or for any manufacturer, yet 😀
