Motherboard for £100 that will work with i5-4670k

Bolton_99 · Jun 12, 2014

Hi.

I'm a massive PC nood and really need some help. I'm looking to buy a motherboard for around £100 that will work with i5-4670k.

I am very short on money as I am in need of an upgrade and would like a PS4. So any 'bang for your buck' motherboards would be greatly appreciated.

Do you intend on overclocking?

Don't think so.

Then you shouldn't get the k-version of the CPU, it costs more because it can be overclocked.

The Gigabyte GA-H97-D3H has the new H97 chipset. This would allow for SATA Express and M2 SSDs if you wanted to get one. It also allows for your CPU to be upgraded to the new HaswellE CPU's

In any case, this should do: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/asrock-motherboard-h97pro4

Yep, I have never had any experience with ASRock, so I cannot vouch for them. But Gigabyte are a good solid brand. The motherboard isn't going to be the limiting factor for processing power, it's going to be the CPU/GPU combination.

Ok. Thanks for your help. Im either going with http://www.newegg.com/global/uk/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128712 or http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-131-AK&campaign=affiliate/tag

Both of those boards fit your requirements, it's up to you to choose which one you like more. Compare the features on the manufacturers' sites and pick the one that has what you need.

Eduello · Jun 12, 2014

We're happy to help, let us know what you choose

ASRock is a known and trusted brand in my opinion.

My main problem/reason I wouldn't use them is that I am not familiar with their UEFI BIOS. Thats why I don't use them
