Hi guys!
I'm looking for a mobo that has storage slots for a HDD 3.5 and a SSD that would be good for gaming and video editing. I Was planning on using a intel i7 8700k CPU. No over clocking.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Any board that supports that CPU would do. The Hard Drive and SSD both connect via SATA Connection. Options are a board with SATA 2 or SATA 3 connectivity. SATA 2 connectivity is plenty fast. Most of the drives out there dont quite utilize the full potential of the SATA 3 bandwidth. So if your looking to save money SATA 2 is fast enough. However if you want a board for future upgrading to newer drives that might make better use of SATA 3 connectivity then its best to spend the extra now to be ready for faster drives later.

There are a lot of ideas about gaming and computers.
Define "gaming'.
If you just want to play Pokemon, a smartphone will do the job.
Here is one of too many lights of current popular motherboards that might do:

That will take you to :
MSI Mobo on Amazon. (https://www.amazon.com/MSI-Intel-Micro-Motherboard-H81M-P33/dp/B00F42Y924/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&qid=1484616502&sr=8-1&keywords=MSI+LGA+1150+H81M-P33&linkCode=sl1&tag=gearforgaming08-20&linkId=a599b216870059613ebafc4392a30feb)
But some would disagree. >:(

Hi there I'm currently using Asus z370-e for 8700k with 2 hdd and 1 SSD on it, you can check it out if you want to. But most of the mobo pretty do support the standards you need only the review will be difference on each brand so checking the review and recommendation would be the best to start of. Hope it helps
