Building a birthday PC for a relative, and I purchased a Gigabyte Z170 Gaming 3 board. I went to put it together tonight and it wouldnt boot, just 5 beeps! Reseated the CPU a couple of times, just had the minimum stuff plugged in, yada yada. Anyways I said F it and put in a return. I wanted this done by tomorrow afternoon so I will just buy something tomorrow morning.
What I would like to know is what you guys with 6700ks have and how have they been. I kinda dont have time to do a bunch of research...the reviews on a lot of these motherboards vary a lot depending on the store. Gigabyte Gaming 7 looks good on Amazon and Newegg, but the 3 didnt work. Also noticed the 3 was almost warped or something. A lot of flex. Was also looking at the Asus Z170 Pro and Asus Z170-A, but people seem to be down on Asus these days.
I didnt want to spend more than $150 since I'm way over budget on this (basically built something that I would want lol), but $180 (Gaming 7) is as high as I'll go. Any ideas?
