Top quality stuff. This is the latest Socket 1151 motherboard
(USB3.1 Type C and Type A, M.2, 3 x PCIe 3.0 x16 )
at a decent enough price but also with a top rated £59 mouse included.
Reviews of the mouse are great and Scan currently have it at £59
(Sorry - originally listed as Novatech for £119 but since found it at Box for £109)

Is this or the z170 pro gaming better? Can I overclock the i7 6700k with this? Thanks.
Which one have you decided? Box also has the Asus pro gaming on offer tok with free headset

Really struggling to make a decision. I've been gunning for the Z170 for a while now. Reviews all seem pretty positive, just not the Newegg ones.. The mouse seems better than the headset, but I already have both, so don't care too much. Leaning towards the ASUS.

Decision made. I needed an i5 6600K, so I bought the Asus Pro Gaming bundle at Dabs for £303.82. With a tad cashback hopefully too.

Have to admit, nice that the Asus takes DDR3

I'm leaning towards the Asus z170 maximus Ranger MB + Free Asus Mouse for £139 at Box.co.uk. The Mouse are going for about £48+ on ebay's completed listings.
Still waiting for an offer for the 6700k for me :smiley:

I saw that and decided to take the plunge too.. I'm copying, I know.. Managed to still get the i5 at the bundle rate, as they had 0 stock of the mobo.. :wink:
Anyone recommend a good value MB & CPU bundle for a budget of around £200-£250 (I have 2 sticks of 8MB DDR3, 240GB SSD, & an old PCIe graphics). Its for my son.

I have a soft spot for the G3258 processor. Scan has a bundle which looks like its all the bits you're missing (Case,PSU,MB,CPU) for £176 http://www.scan.co.uk/todayonly#6

an i5 would be perfect for that price range. a locked 'non K' i5 can be had for around £140 - £150, then a standard motherboard should be fine, should be £200 or less

It does come with EasyTune software for overclocking though I don't know about the z170 pro gaming
