I have done a mistake presuming that a 7 PCI-E board would take 6 GPUs and got the MSI Z170A KRAIT GAMING 3X  Angry along with G3930 CPU and 2X4GB HyperX DDR4.

Please advice what board should I get to still be able to use the RAM and CPU with 6 RX470s.

Why on earth someone would build a 7 slot PCI-E board which cannot run more than 3 at a time  Huh

Thanks

this board a z270 does five cards

very few z170's do 5 or 6 cards

I will have a build on the cheaper z270  by thurs if you wait.

the z270s will use your ram if it is ddr4  they will use your cpu if it is an:

 intel
i3 6xxx
i5 6xxx
i7 6xxx

or a g4400

I am putting an intel i5 6400t  in my new board.
