Hello guys!

So, like the thousands of other people asking questions here, I'm also building a new computer and I need some help.

I've chosen all the parts but the Motherboard and GPU.

CPU - i5-6600K-3.5GHz-6MB-LGA1151-BOX
RAM - Corsair Vengeance LPX Kit 2x8GB DDR4 @ 2400Mhz (cmk16gx4m2a2400c14)
SSD - SSD Samsung 850 EVO Series 120GB
Case - Fractal Design Define R5 White Window
PSU - EVGA SuperNOVA 750 G2 80 PLUS Gold

So for the motherboard, I need something within the price range of the:

Asus Z170-A, AsRock Z170 Extreme4, MSI Z170 Krait Gaming

For the GPU, I'm basically torn apart between:

Nvidia GTX 960, more specifically - ASUS STRIX-GTX960-DC2OC-4GD5 and GB N960WF2OC-4GD

AMD R9 380X, more specifically - GB-R938XG1-GAMING-4GD

Those are the SKUs that are within my budget.

I'd appreciate it if someone could help me choose the right MB and GPU from the above.

Thanks in advance!

Hi, I got the Sapphire r9 380X Nitro. 380X is generally faster than gtx 960 but takes in a lot of power which should not be a problem with your 750W PSU. Think about the Asrock z170m Pro4s mobo - it is cheap and it does the job.
