I7 7700K WILL THIS ALL WoRK????

FrancisPlays · Aug 23, 2017

Okay so I am getting a i7-7700k. However I am not looking to upgrade my ram. Which is G Skill 16G(4x4G) DDR3 1600Mhz. I would like to know if this will work and what budget motherboard could be suggested to make it run?

Any help is appreciated.

Nope you need DDR4 ram modules, which means you need a new motherboard (z270).

Z270 motherboards cost somewhere around ~120$.

Cheapest one being around 100$ found HERE.

Here's a list of all compatible motherboards.

Here's the basic parts you need with the 7700k.

PCPartPicker part list: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/26ryCy
Price breakdown by merchant: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/26ryCy/by_merchant/

CPU: Intel - Core i7-7700K 4.2GHz Quad-Core Processor ($315.00 @ Amazon)
CPU Cooler: CRYORIG - H7 49.0 CFM CPU Cooler ($34.89 @ OutletPC)
Motherboard: MSI - Z270 GAMING PLUS ATX LGA1151 Motherboard ($116.98 @ Newegg)
Memory: G.Skill - Ripjaws V Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-2400 Memory ($124.99 @ NCIX US)
Total: $591.86

Though I would recommend you get the Ryzen 1600. You'll save quite a bit more..

@mbilal2
Would this be the same with a i7 6700?

FrancisPlays :

Yes it would. Though you cold use a z170 motherboard or a z270.
