Looking to go mATX or ITX. Comparing ITX boards first.
All boards are ALC1150. Plan is to pair with a 6700k (stock or mild OC) with DDR4 2800-3200 2x8GB.
ASRock Fatal1ty Z170 Gaming-ITX/ac or Asus MAXIMUS VIII IMPACT
- don't see them being worth it for the price, may as well go HEDT then.
Asus z170i Pro Gaming:
+Displayport
-Asmedia USB 3.1
Gigabyte GA-Z170N-Gaming 5
+Alpine Ridge USB 3.1
+USB type-C
-no Displayport
-cooling solution weakness? (http://www.silentpcreview.com/article1497-page5.html)
MSI z170I Gaming Pro:
+Displayport
-m.2 slot does not officially support full length 80mm drives, requiring drives be fixed to the board with tape
? USB 3.1 controller?
