The board supports Kabylake Processors only with F20 Bios update. But seeing lots of reports F20 isn't stable or working ok. It will but i would give it time for Gigabyte to get working F20 bugs! The Kabylake and Z270 came out Jan 5, so still very new and fresh. But compare to the intel i7 6700k the new Kabylake won't offer you better performance. 30% gain on paper, like 3% real life gain. Lots of trouble (F20 Bios) and expensive For so little gain in real life. I have your board and a i7 6700k running at 4,6 Ghz, very stable and no access heat ether. Changing my board (Dram problems) for a Z270 chipset. The Z270 chipset offers 4 extra PCI lanes, passing from 20 lanes (Z170) to 24 lanes (Z270). A difference the whole system will feel, making your new SSD's very happy.
