Need Help choosing a moba for Rx 480 Intel build- 1st time

[Infinite1212]

Hi, this is my first time I'm trying to build my own budget gaming computer. I wanted to go the more power efficient route, so I chose to go with Intel. I'm not sure whether I should go with the i3 6300, i5-6500, or i5-6600K. The GPU I went with is the AMD RX 480, though I am waiting to hear more about it as well as the different incoming variants.

I'm trying to decide between 2 motherboards (please feel free to propose better and/or cheaper alternatives): The "ASUS Z170-E ATX Intel Motherboard" (http://bit.ly/29k58c4) or "MSI Z170A PC MATE ATX Intel Motherboard" (http://bit.ly/29rMBgn).

On the side note: For the PSU I decided to go with the SeaSonic 520W 80+ Bronze Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply (Once again, feel free to offer cheaper and/or better solutions).

Thanks!!

Go for Z motherboard if your CPU is a K version from Intel, else, go for H* or B* series.

520W is plenty fine and the brand is good, i would recommend higher if you have in mind going for K CPU and future OC'ing.

i5-6600K and ASUS Z170-E is a great combo.

Thanks for the quick answer. Do you have any specific motherboards in mind, or will any of those do?
Thanks!

If you're going for K CPU, i'm agreed with @Technologify, i5 6600k with asus z170-e is a great combo.
