My current custom build is running off of an AMD processor and I would like to change to an Intel i7 7700K.

With the following components, what is the best motherboard I could get that is compatible.

Intel Core i7 7700K
NZXT Kraken x61
Asus GeForce GTX750Ti
Kingston Hyper Fury 16GB (2x8GB)

Note: when I choose a motherboard on uk.pcpartpicker.com the following message pops up:

Some Intel B150 chipset motherboards may need a BIOS update prior to using Kaby Lake-S CPUs. Upgrading the BIOS may require a different CPU that is supported by older BIOS revisions.


Also this sometimes pops up:

The Kingston - HyperX Fury White 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-1866 Memory operating voltage of 1.5V exceeds the Intel Kaby Lake-S CPU recommended maximum of 1.35V+5% (1.417V). This memory module may run at a reduced clock rate to meet the 1.35V voltage recommendation, or may require running at a voltage greater than the Intel recommended maximum.


Is this something to worry about? Could I still get this motherboard?

Some Intel B150 chipset motherboards may need a BIOS update prior to using Kaby Lake-S CPUs. Upgrading the BIOS may require a different CPU that is supported by older BIOS revisions.

Intel Celeron G3900 2.8 GHz Dual-Core LGA 1151 Processor costs $41.25.

Most people opt for B250 Chipset motherboard which needs no BIOS update for 7th Generation CPU. For the Intel Core i7 7700K I would recommend getting a Z270 Chipset model and DDR4 memory.
