Help me find a good and cheap motherboard for i5-6400

mohammed.nihal7 · Aug 17, 2018

I need to change my motherboard because I've been having s**t ton of a problem connecting SSD to my current motherboard, made a post about it and been getting no reply at all. (http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-3766715/motherboard-problem-ssd.html)

So I just decided to change the motherboard itself, so please help me choose a motherboard for i5-6400. I'm looking to buy it from this site. https://uae.souq.com/ae-en/

PC Specs: i5-6400
DDR4 RAM 8 GB
GTX 1060 3GB SC.
EVGA 500W PSU.

There are cheaper B250, H270 chipset but this is not much more expensive.

bmockeg :

what do you mean?

Set it to US I guess

bmockeg · Aug 17, 2018

The site that he linked that he is buying from.

vapour · Aug 17, 2018

Sorry, missed the link, I will get this one:

The one bmockeg picked is fine too.

Those gigabyte MB wont cause me any problem with SSD right? Also I will be able to upgrade to a bettet cpu later on?

vapour · Aug 17, 2018

mohammed.nihal7 :

Best you can upgrade to 7700k, and that is why I recommend Z270 MB so you can oc it to faster.
SSD is fine on H270 or B250 or Z270. What SSD do you have in mind? Crucial MX500 and Samsung will be my only choice.

bmockeg · Aug 17, 2018

If you want an upgradable board, get the one vapour suggested. A Z270 chipset will allow you to upgrade all the way to a 7700K later if you desire.

Is this a good one? Will i have any problem with ssd later on? Does this have enough bios options ?

If you want Asus, this is better and cheaper

mohammed.nihal7 · Aug 17, 2018

That one costs 550 DHS including shipping because its coming from amazon store via souq. Or you recommend getting that one itself rather than z270-p?

bmockeg · Aug 17, 2018

Its a much better board, the z-270p will work though.
