PC Upgrade Help Needed!

My motherboard just bit the dust, so I'm looking to upgrade to a new 1151 socket setup. Since I have every intention of overclocking, I need to know which board would be the absolute best fit for this specific CPU. I'm looking for premium build quality and something that’s going to last me a long time...

Here is what I'm currently considering:
Intel Core i5-6600K (

ASUS ROG Maximus Z170
(

Four sticks of Corsair 4GB DDR4 2133 memory
(

As for my existing hardware:
Samsung 512 GB 850 Pro SSD
A 1TB HDD and a 500GB HDD
EVGA GeForce GTX 970 with Corsair components
Corsair 1000W TX
Corsair H80 Water cooling
NZXT Phantom Case

So, any suggestions or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

You could save nearly $133 if you just went with an i5 6500 paired with an Asrock board 😉. Plus, $50 grabbing a faster 2x8GB kit might be worth it.

You can overclock via BCLK, I guess.

Anyway, what were you running before?

By the way, what were you running before this?

Honestly, the guys at the repair shop are complete morons. It was eating at me because the motherboard was relatively new, maybe about a year old. I put everything back together at home and realized that absolutely everything on the board was functioning perfectly. It wasn't until I opened up the power supply there that I saw the actual culprit: a component that had fried, shorted, and cracked, which is why the rest of the system was acting up.
