Hello, I have ordered all the other products except the motherboard as I am a little confused about it.
My Main purpose is gaming @ 4K , some occasionally time to time rendering and others.

Full specs which I have ordered other than the mobo are -

CPU - Intel Core i7 6700K
Mobo - Yet to decide . Waiting for some suggestions .
RAM- 2x 16 GB DDR4 3200 Mhz ( G.Skill )
Cooling - Corsair H110i GTX
Cabby - Corsair 900 D Cabby / Cosmos 2
HDD - 4 TB WD Black HDD
SSD - Samsung 512 GB 850 Pro SSD
PSU - Corsair Ax1200i W
GPU - Zotac 980Ti AMP Extreme
Fans - 4x Corsair 120mm Performance series.

Oh and I have 2 monitors - BenQ Xl2411T and BenQ RL24HM . For now, I will be using DSR 4K and later within the next 2 months , I plan on getting a 4k monitor.

If you guys think that any of those specs which I have ordered needs to be cancelled for a better thing , then kindly tell. I can easily cancel and get a different product.

I am from India and my purchase currency is INR. I am getting my products from here : http://mdcomputers.in/ and https://www.theitdepot.com/

So, which mobo should I take ?
Should I go for the MSI Z170A XPOWER Gaming Titanium Edition or which ASUS Variant ?
I will eventually end up taking 64 GB of RAM with the highest Mhz and might do 3-way or 4-way SLI with 980 Ti AMP Extreme. I don't want any problem with my setup. All I want is performance, durability and stability.

And one more thing, I was going for the 5820K/5930K with a X99 but some folks told me that 6700K would be more better for gaming and others. So, should I cancel those order and replace the CPU with a X99 board ?
The clock speed of both 5820 K and 5930 K are not good as the 6700 K .

Any help would be greatly appreciated. 🙂
 
for games the 6700k is better for the most part, but for rendering and more heavy duty stuff the x99 6+ core HEDT platform is a better fit, so it really depends on your workload, if you plan to do more editing or "work stuff" than gaming x99 is a better choice, if you plan to game more than z170 is a better choice.

note this is all at stock speed if you overclock I think x99 has a better upside as it's stock clocks are kinda low compared to skylake.

The more RAM that you have, the harder it is to clock up stable.

I really don't think that you'll have much luck getting 64GB of DDR4 to clock much above 2400-2666.
