Will the H110 motherboard by MSI work with the i7 6700?

Any H110 motherboard should work fine with 6th gen Intel. Pcpartpiker.com seems to agree.

Although, kind of expensive for such a basic motherboard, are you buying it from Amazon?

No my plan was to use a CPU from a old HP which was the 6700 then I bought this board and it didn’t work but it’s turns out the cpu is dead so my plan is to buy a new cpu and I just wanted to make sure this board would work.

The 6700 is pretty bad value, you should consider some other alternatives, what is your budget?

I would like to spend maybe around 300 bucks on a cpu that would fit the H110 motherboard but if not I could Return it and have 500 bucks for a cpu and motherboard. I also bought a 1660 super which is on its way.

$500 CAD for a good CPU and mobo combo:

A kit of high speed memory even fits in the budget. The 6700 would be nice, if one you pulled from the OEM system worked, but the 3600 is just a lot better for about the same cost.
