Personally 60 pounds is too little for a z270 board 

If you want to go for it then sure but I can't guarantee that it will be legit or not

I'm currently looking for a cheap z270 board on eBay which has not much detail in the description and only two pictures showing the board itself and the box. I shot the seller a couple of messages to make sure it had all the accessories including the IO shield and Wi-Fi antenna etc but got no reply. The board is listed as "used" so is it safe to assume that these will be included? In one of the photos I can see the corner of the manual so they seem pretty organised!

 

All opinions appreciate, thanks :)

Yeah I was given a 6600K a while ago but I don't have a board which would let me overclock it.

Currently £60 (UK) with no bids but open to offers.

Yeah definitely. Seems slightly sketchy to me that they're not replying (it's been a few days), but possibly just been busy. 🤷‍♂️

Do you need a system or are you building one just because you have the cpu ?

Little cheaper than what z270 boards go for 

Are there any reviews for the seller or anything?

No, the only thing guaranteed by the "used" condition is the functionality of the board 

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 11 and Fedora Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

PSU tier list

How many watts do I need?

PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad
