Hello i am upgrading my pc with
i5 6600k and Corsair Vengeance 16gb 3000mhz
but i can not decide between these motherboards:
ASUS Z170-A 148E
MSI Z170-A PRO 104E (there is in the list because its cheap)
GIGABYTE GA-Z170X-Gaming 3-EU 146E

I will OC maybe till 4.5-5Ghz because i have a CM hyper 212 evo,
gaming, a little photoshop and maybe i am not going to use sli bacause for now i own a gtx970,
maybe later i ll bay a gtx 1070 or higher.If the mb supports it i ll use a faster ram 3200-3400mhz.
 
I feel like the G.Skill Ripjaws V 3200 is the best choice because they have better timings faster clock and are 10€ cheaper than Corsair.I hope they fit to the z170-a.I have decided the z170-a compared to asus pro gaming cause the 7 fan headers m.2 raid function and also 10€ cheaper.
