Motherboard for i7-7700k (view required specs)

[Nicordamus]

Hi.
I'm building a pc and I'm considering a I7-7700k.
What I need is a motherboard that has the following features:
1- Supports VR;
2- Supports 4k;
3- Has Wi-Fi (not a must have, but it would be really good If it does).
4- Supports DDR 4 memory with at least 32gb capacity).
5- Can overclock decently.

That being said, the less expensive the better.

I'm asking for sugestions because I already looked up and couldn't find "the best fit" myself.

I already have a 800W FX PSU, a GT960OC (next upgrade) and a Seidon Coolmaster 120M (can be replaced if needed).

Thank you, folks!

VR and 4K are not relevant to the motherboard if you have a dedicated graphics card. Any motherboard for a 7700K will support DDR4 and they will all support 32GB. An overclocking motherboard is going to be a Z270.

VR and 4K are new to me and as some models claimed to be "VR Ready" I didn't know if it was only up to the GPU. Thanks for the information. I guess what I need then is a mobo with built-in wifi and can overclock nicely. Any suggestions? And can my cooler handle this CPU?

Just a heads up the i7 7700k will become an i3-8350k in about 2 months. Coffee lake is bringing 6 core i5/i7's and the 8700k should be about $350. Also new motherboards Z370 and know the old Z270 will not support the 6 cores. I could recommend you a Ryzen 1700 with a stock cooler to save about $100. The stock cooler should get you 3.7Ghz overclock.

And how well will the Ryzen 1700 stand against the new 6 core i5/i7? I have a FX-9590 but never could make it run smoothly (it overheats my motherboard), that's why I was running away from AMD.

In games about the same as it did again the i7-7700k. In none games tho the 6 core i5/i7 would least stand a chance against the 8 core 1700. The big issue right now is games with higher core support.

The Ryzen 1700 seems to be a good alternative. What are the best motherboards up to US$200 I could purchase to go with it?
