All the following combos are around 270$, here in Bosnia.
Which one to choose, for gaming purposes, mostly?

2nd gen
ASUS Z77
Intel i5-2500K
HyperX 8GB FURY DDR3 1600MHz CL10 KIT

4th gen
ASROCK Z97 Anniversary
INTEL Core i3-4160 3.60GHz 1150 BOX
HyperX 8GB FURY DDR3 1600MHz CL10 KIT

6th gen
ASROCK Z170 Pro4S ddr4
INTEL Pentium G4400 3.30GHz 1151 BOX
HyperX 8GB FURY DDR4 2133MHz CL14 HX421C14FB/8

I already own: SAPPHIRE 280x, SSD 250GB SAMSUNG evo 850
 
2nd gen is fastest of those. However motherboard availability for LGA1155 is serious problem and will get even worse.
Thanks for your advice man, I managed to get an ASUS P8Z77-M, i5 2500k (happily running at 4.2GHz /w stock cooler) and 1 stick of 8GB of DDR3 Fury Hyper X. Damn I'm so happy with the upgrade!!! Sidenote: I managed to lower the price to 256$ for those 3 components :D :D :)
