I'm building a PC for my friend, I think I have everything sorted out but, (of course) I've stumbled upon an issue...
I planned on using the MSI z97 Motherboard with the i5-6500,
unfortunately the 6500 is an LGA 1151 CPU and the the z97 only supports
an LGA 1150 socket CPU.
I would have loved to use the MSI Z97 gaming 5 mobo (https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00K8KPXUO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1)
But seeing as I really want to use the 6500 (the 4690k is unavailable) I'm going to have to
Look for a new motherboard.
Any recommendations as to what mobo I can use instead??
If you could reply asap i would love you <3

P.S.
Is the build okay? anything you think I should change? <<You don't have to answer this, MOBO is my main concern...
Thanks!
