I have recently bought a GPU and a Processor , which are gtx 1060 6gb msi and i5 3470 @3.2 ghz respectively .

I need to buy a motherboard which is good and is compatible with both of these component.

This is my 1st time building a pc so I am a newbie and dont know about compatibility.

But please someone who is really EXPERIENCED or HAS THIS SETUP tell me a good compatible mobo and if this setup will be bottlenecking or not. Thanks !

i had same setup as you before
i just upgraded to 4790k+z97
3470 and 1060 6gb
cpu usage is 90-100% on PUBG

if dont want to change cpu
buy H77 or H61 mobo

or buy i7 3770 + H77 or H61
3770k+ Z97 (OC)

First of all , sorry for down voting , that was a misclick .
Does cpu usage of 90 to 100 % means there was a bottle neck ? Did U play PUBG at ultra graphics ? At what resolution ?

And is i7 3770 compatible with a mobo which is compatible with i5 3470 ?
Can you tell me which mobo you used while using i5 3470 and 1060 6gb ? Was it satisfying ?

And another noob question , is h61 , h77 , z97 the chipset type of a mobo ?

1. for me it bottleneck (i play only PUBG now)
2. very low setting except view distance is ultra cpu usage near 100% same result on all ultra on 1080p (1920x1080)
3. yeah mobo for i7-3770 , i5-3470 can use it too
4. i used Asrock Z77 pro4 it was good mobo. you can overclock non-k cpu like 3470 to 3.8 all core or 3.9x with bclk adjustment
5. h61 h77 z97 is chipset type of mobo, h61 h77 is 1155 , z97 is 1150

Well, i saw youtube videos on internet and they showed good results with 1060 6gb and i5 3470 and you were lagging on very low in PUBG ? cmon which ram , hard drive , cooler , etc .were you using ?

Had you ever played any other game with that setup?

Any other specific mobo you can recommend to me cos asrock z77 is not available in my country on any site

pubg is cpu intensive but nowaday every i5s (expect gen 8 ) is not enough for hi-end gaming
z77 you need to find second hand
