It looks like I'll have to replace my motherboard, but instead of a like for like replacement (i5-2500k) I want to upgrade. So looking for specs/advice on something based on below:

Intel Core i5-6600K 3.9GHz (Skylake) Socket LGA1151
Radeon R9-390 (open forsuggestions)
Motherboard
Memory(8 or 16?)

Budget slightly flexible, but around £650. Heaviest use the system gets is from triple screen iracing.

Thanks

All up and running. I was to busy enjoying consistent fps to post an update. Only thing is previous card had a mini displayport so I'm waiting for a new adaptor to get the third screen up.
