Ziggylata :
This should fit all my components, right? The MSI one you suggested is perfect. It works with my i5 and DDR4 RAM, plus everything else?
The previous MSI post I made was wrong—it only works with the 6600k but needs a BIOS update to function.
Just grab this one:

No need for extra updates.
Another good option is:

It has 10 power phases for better overclocking and RGB lighting. Honestly, I wouldn’t choose a costly RGB board unless you have a transparent case—otherwise it’s just extra money for looks.
You shouldn’t buy these expensive RGB boards if your case isn’t transparent (windowed), otherwise you’ll pay more just to look nice.
