While I dont understand buying last generations board with this generations processor partial support can be had with some Z170s. I was not as fortunate. 7700K just refused to run in my M8E nor did the BIOS that was supposed to support it. It clocks along just fine with a 6700K. My fist advice is if a new build to return the M8H and get a M9 Z270 board that was designed for the 7700K.
I completely agree, I would rather have a Z270 board. Unfortunately I had to buy the parts bit by bit, I picked up this (very well specced) board about 4 months ago on a very good deal, in the meantime Intel released the 7gen processors so once Asus declared they would support the latest processor I decided to get that as it was roughly the same price.

At the moment I have my new Corsair RM550x plugged in (2 plugs) as well as a mouse, keyboard and onboard HDMI. The board lights up but I am not getting anything on screen! *Worried why there is no output. Not sure what to do next, so might try and flash the BIOS. Then might try to add the cpu, memory etc.
Thanks for the instructions, I do have the manual with me but it doesn't detail what needs to be connected up to get a video output.
