    Decide to move up a size as I find that M-ATX cases a little difficult to tinker in given my aging hands seem less able to do precisely what I want and my eyes are being strained. So am looking for a solid mobo for a 6600k cpu. Would need M. 2 ssd slot but I think most boards come with that these days.

    a) Are you going to overclock your CPU?
    b) Not all the features of a 2xx series board will be usable with a 6600K.
    c) Budget.
    d) It all depends on whether or not you want to buy into what is already a redundant chipset all over again Glenn.

    A) I probably will be applying a small overclock, yes.
    B) Care to elaborate?
    C) Trying to keep it to around £100.
    D) As I am intending to use everything in the current build then yes which generally I am happy with. But yesterday I was installing an M.2 and I realised that M-ATX is not really ideal with my crap eyesight and finger movement.

    Looks as though this is the case I will be going for courtesy of SHMBO Christmas gift offer. https://www.scan.co.uk/products/cor...r-smoked-glass-steel-3x-120mm-rgb-fans-usb-30
