Looking for a new motherboard and cpu, need to know which motherboard is compatible with my setup

justxjack · Jan 13, 2014

So im buying a new computer case, a new motherboard and a new cpu. Ive decided on the Rosewill Black Gaming ATX Mid Tower and the Intel Core i5-4670K and but i dont know which motherboard to get. My graphics card is the gtx 570. Budjet for the motherboard is 60 to 70 euros.
Is all what i mentioned compatible with each other and if so, what motherboard do i get?

Because you got the K version i5 so that you need the Z87 MB for it, and I can only find this one for the lowest price. http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00CYWDKWM/?tag=pcp0f-21 But if you don't mind you can get the H81, H87 or B85. And you may OC the K version i5 for now, but you don't know when the intel will block this oc function. http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/39846-intel-blocks-overclocking-on-h81-b85-and-h87-chipsets/

Thanks! didnt know about intel planning on blocking OC though, still worth getting this cpu if they block OC on it?

1. Make sure it's an LGA 1150 Socket
2. If you're planning to Overclock your motherboard, make sure you get a Z87 motherboard
3. Typically reliable brands people like to get are ASUS or ASrock. MSI can be a hit or miss

It is OK, but if you really want to OC then saving a little bit more you can get the better Z87, otherwise get the i5-4570 or i5-4430/40 and the H81. H87 or B85.

MrJohnnyLy :

What about Gigabyte? Will the Gigabyte GA-Z87-HD3 S1150 Z87 4xDDR3 ATX do?
