Sometimes you DO pay more for an Intel board. I would check the features of the board you are looking at.
For instance, you may also be able to get a cheaper AMD board. These AMD boards do NOT support Intel cpus and instead take AMD cpus. For most day to day tasks, Most users will not notice the difference one way or the other.
You will also fine third party boards for Intel cpus(one way or another they almost all contain Intels on chipset too).
What ever you do, make sure the board you buy
A. has the features you want(ie e-sata/usb3/ect).
B. Works with the cpu you want to buy(this info is always on the motherboard makers website)
