Trying to find the best reasonably priced Intel LGA 1150 motherboard that also supports DDR4 ram?

Bdayton94 · Jul 15, 2015

I've browsed through newegg and the only choices I really ran into were boards that were 400+ dollars and i'm really not looking to drop that much on my motherboard. Any and all suggestions are welcome and appreciated! Thanks again.

Oh and P.S this is going to be a gaming rig.

Why do you want DDR4

smorizio · Jul 15, 2015

none of the z97 mb support ddr4 what you want will be out in a few weeks is the newer skylake z170 chipset mb there a few leaked images of some of the mb posted on toms front page. the newer skylake 1151 pin cpu will do ddr4 and have ddr3 squ.

It costs more and gives little improvement. I do not think it has DDR4 support at all.

Ok, so pretty much DDR4 isn't worth it as of now?

DDR4 with an Intel CPU will come with the upcoming Skylake CPU's. They will be announced August 5th, and CPU's apparently will start coming that same day with others in September. However, those will require a new 1151 socket motherboard.

No 1150 socket CPU will ever use DDR4. The last 1150 CPU's just came out a month or so ago.

bdayton....it comes down to your build funds and what is the better buy for your money. right now ddr3 ram is around 40-50 for 8g kits. a 1150 mb the a or ar run 140.00 before rebate and a 4690k is 200.00-230.00 online. your going to be paying more for the ddr4 ram and newer cpu and mb when they drop in a few weeks. intill the nda lifts in aug we cant tell you in firm numbers how much faster on cpu is over the other. keep an eye out if your state has tax free days,
