Hi all,
Upgrade time, but can't decide which mobo to get with the following parts. Would like to say around £130/40 for it unless paying more really is a massive difference. I do want to OC the CPU but once its clocked, it will be left and used for gaming so I feel like I don't need lots of bells and whistles on the board.
Current spec: i2500k, 16gb ddr3, MSI z77a-gd65, GTX 980, haf-x
Am looking to buy the following but not sure if the mobo is sufficient??
YOUR BASKET
1 x Intel Core i7-6700K 4.0GHz (Skylake) Socket LGA1151 Processor - Retail £329.99
1 x Asus Z170 Pro Gaming Intel Z170 (Socket 1151) DDR4 ATX Motherboard £119.99
1 x Panram Ninja-V 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 PC4-24000C15 3000MHz Dual Channel Kit - Black (PUD43000C158G2NJK) £116.99
1 x OcUK Tech Labs 240mm Extreme CPU Liquid Cooling Upgrade Bundle £57.88
- 1 x No Fan Controller Required £0.00
- 1 x Asetek Premium Retention Kit Intel LGA115X (35-150-0000014) £4.00
Total : £638.44 (includes shipping : £8.00 Ex.VAT).

As usual, thanks in advance for any help/advice
