Even though this game is getting old I am building a custom modded Skyrim case that will have laser cut outs of quotes in Dovahzul (dragon-voice) backed with RBG lighting. I'm just getting an idea what sayings other people would like on a mod like this?

I agree the ASUS one is probably your safest choice here. The ASUS pro gaming (ATX version) is one of the most popular boards according to futuremark Motherboard Reviews. I like going with ITX builds but it was because of the lack of choices right now that casued to stray away from it and go...
Those are really your only options. I think the ASRock Fatal1ty Gaming Z170 Gaming-ITX/ac is the best value for money. Lots of usb 3.0/3.1 usb ports, display port, m.2 socket, load of options in the bios. As a bonus: leds which show you which component fail to start. Like you said though the...

I just want to make a decent gaming machine and I'm one of those who like to get the most out of their money by overclocking.
So I'm looking to purchase this motherboard GIGABYTE G1 Gaming GA-Z170X-Gaming 5 (rev. 1.0) LGA 1151 Intel Z170 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.1 USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard -...
I have a bunch of questions here and will probably be all over the place as I'm researching...
I'm trying to figure out the sweet spot for memory speed for a Skylake build with the i7-6700k. I didn't think the i7-6700k would benefit at all from a higher memory speed than rated (2133Mhz) but it...
