z170 motherboard for 6600k or 6700k

[Jo139]

just like the title said, i need advice to choose a motherboard because i change my mind and choose the K version over non K skylake cpu

this is my current plan
http://pcpartpicker.com/list/z3cGcc

note:
* i already read some thread here about z170 mobo but a lot of them have 2-gpu support and i think it's a little bit waste because i'm not a hardcore gamer who need more than 1 gpu card
* mobo in that list is the most likely i would buy but i will consider any suggestion depend on my pocket
* i'm not a fan of SLI/crossfire/whatever it called so a single GPU slot is really fine
* i choose k version cpu over the non k because the possibility that maybe i need to overclock it later
* ram version except 2666 is hard to find here so if it's possible i like to get the one which support that ram version
* i don't know the range/limit for the price in $ because the price difference in $ is here and there but in my currency the gap isn't so big just around $50 and the highest one on that list is around $250 here
* if it's possible i like to:
- know why to choose "this" one over the other
- know which windows it support
- get a not so hard bios to set/understand + good bios display/UI because i move from asus p8h61 and it's good IMO
* ssd, hdd, psu is my current one and for the cpu cooler, i get it from a friend of my friend
* really sorry for my horrible english 😀

Whether to get a 6600K over 6700K depends on what you plan on using it for. So what do you plan on using this computer for?

i use it for a lot of stuff. sometimes do a basic editing using photoshop, sometimes for basic video editing, play some games like for example GTA V.
well it's just when i really got nothing to do(photoshop and video editing)
i prefer the 6600k so i can put my budget to gpu or something else but still thinking which is best for next 4/5 years

I think for the basic editing and stuff an i5 will do just fine for you. Now if you see yourself down the line doing more intense editing or more multithreaded applications, then an i7 would be better for you.

well i think i will get the 6600k then. i do some further research for motherboard which cost lower than $200 and get a narrower option
- Asus Z170-A
- Asus Z170-K
- MSI Z170A Krait Gaming
- MSI Z170A Gaming Pro
- MSI Z170A Gaming M5 (not from the original option)
- Gigabyte GA-Z170X Gaming 3 (also not from my original option)
- Gigabyte GA-Z170-HD3

i read it somewhere that asus z170 motherboard is good especially the z170-A but in neweggs if i remember correctly lot of people having a problem with bios and some port. when MSI i read it somewhere those motherboard isn' so bad in that range of price. and the Gigabyte i got it when searching for mobo under $200

any suggestion? even from outside that list is fine 😀

ASUS is pretty good. Newegg seems to be the place where most motherboards are bad apparently. MSI is also pretty good. I'm a fan of the Z170-A

what about the lower version like Z170-K? is it good? the price gap here in my place is around $50-$55. is it worth to get the Z170-A over Z170-K?
sorry for a lot of question because i want to avoid any unnecessary extra cost for a feature which i don't really use

I think the Z170-K would be fine. I like the aesthetics of the Z170-A better but that's personal preference.
