Need help picking out Mobo

[Fishy4004]

So, I was texting my computer expert cousins, and one of them says this. Your motherboard is too expensive. A SOUNDCARD included. So here are my other ideas!

the final one is my favorite, the first one is a model similar to the one I originally wanted, and the 2nd was something else I liked!

what do you expect to do with the system, what cpu are you going to use?

Intel i5 6600k (many told me it is outdated, I am upgrading later)

 

[r3ldleh]

it's not outdated no need to upgrade at least for a couple of years. what is your budget?

Under 1.5k. It does include my monitor, OS, and WiFi adapter if the MOBO, doesn't include it

you must be joking. you want to pair a $200 mobo with a CPU from two generations earlier? how much exactly are you spending on this 6600 ? you know you cannot upgrade, right? the two chipsets are not compatible, despite using the same socket.

This. You cannot use a 6600k in a Z370 motherboard. OP, I’m confused as to whether you actually own the 6600k or not - do you have it now, or is it what you plan on buying?
