Motherboard Help

Hi all.

Im building my new gaming PC within a week or 2 now, and need a little help with picking a Z170, I cant settle on which board to go with.
Spec will be a 6600K, 980Ti, SSD, nothing fancy, I just cant settle on a motherboard.
Any recommendations on a good Z170 board?
Preferably Asus / Gigabyte, never rated Asrock, and last time I had msi it was an NF3 board, and not sure about them.

Would like ATX sized, and dont want to spend a fortune on one, as nice as they are lol.

Cheers, Jason

I would spend a max of £150 for the motherboard.

Uaon, that motherboard looks amazing and looks like it has some good features, but im not sure if they would get used.

Another point, good onboard sound would be a bonus, saving me buying a separate sound card.

Slightly cheaper than the Asus Deluxe board, is the sabertooth mark 1 board, which i could stretch to, if it was worth it, it has the same audio as the deluxe and looks cool, lol.

Sounds to me like you want this then

Looks tacky with the while, but is that audio chip better than the crystal sound on the asus boards ?

Cheers for you help mate.

I want the high quality audio more for music than gaming.
