first time builder and I been studying videos and trying to learn as much as I can but I need some help

I am going to be building a pc at the end of June, and I wont be deciding on a GPU until that time, I want to see how the new gtx 1080/1070 do and/or what the price of the 980ti moves to

so what I am going to build

need help deciding a mobo

i6700k
32 gb (3200)
500 gb ssd
corsair h100 cooling
phanteks P400s
650 w psu

this is the mobo I was looking at
Asus Z170-A ATX LGA1151 Motherboard

looking for info if I should keep this mobo or change it out

32gb ram. What for?

That is not out of necessity. Was going to go 16 but saw 32 was not much more so figured why not lol. Might still go 16

It's probably one of the #1 recommended boards here for Z170 (Skylake)

I myself listened to those recommendations and spent a little more than I wanted to, but it's all worth it, love this mobo

Was hoping to stay away from red. But thats not as important as getting a good build. Thanks for advice ill definitely research

broadwell e soon new mobos for broadwell e and gtx 1070 and 1080


and for budget amd will launch polaris so good thing you are waiting


broadwell e 6800k wich is the cheapest 1 is 6 core and will cost around same as i7 6700k


so just wait and your build will last you for at least 2-3 years easy peasy


if they launch 1080 the ti will com either end of this year or begining of the next and new gpus prob 2 years from now so its a future proof buy

Broadwell-E is using X99 chipset, so they won't be making new boards any time soon and just updating BIOS on the existing. You may see some refresh of boards like V2 or some shit but not completely new boards.

i know they use x99 mobos but theres new mobos coming out

http://www.pcgamer.com/asus-expands-arsenal-of-x99-motherboards-for-broadwell-e/

gigabyte will launch some also

so if i were him i would buy the new mobos instead of old x99


new tech always better then old tech + when a new cpu launches new mobos fallow all the time its just how it is

computex is where everyone claims broadwell-e and mobos and other stuff will be announced / launched so yeah lets just wait till june ends before building anything

Well i currently dont have a pc so i cant wait really

The ASUS Z170-A is good.

The Asus MAXIMUS VIII HERO is better.
