I already bought these (in the link) parts but now i'm not sure which motherboard should i get, i heard that z mobos are for OC and for sli support, in my case i won´t do neither of them, beacuse i don't think i'll be needing them, but some people say that with a z mobo i can get some features that could be taken advantage even for a non k CPU and is future-proof. My intended use for this pc is for architectural design with BIM, i will be running rendering programs,video and photo editing and gaming too.

Now in my case the question for me is: should i get a z mobo which could be more suitable considering limitations for the RAM in H mobos? or is a h mobo enough for my intentions? and other thing, is this PSU fine for my rig or should i sell it and get a G2 instead?

I think a B or H chipset is fine. You're not really missing anything if you don't intend on overclocking - which you can't with a 6700 non-K anyway.

This $63-after-rebate Asus board has 4 RAM slots and an M.2 slot. http://www.outletpc.com/ws2477-asus-b150mam2-b150m-lga1151-motherboard.html?utm_source=ws2477-asus-b150mam2-b150m-lga1151-motherboard&utm_medium=shopping%2Bengine&utm_campaign=pcpartpicker&utm_content=Asus%2B-%2BMotherboards%20%3E%20Intel%20LGA1151

This Gigabyte board is similar, but slightly more expensive: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128881&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-PCPartPicker,%20LLC-_-na-_-na-_-na&cm_sp=&AID=10446076&PID=3938566&SID=
