Yup it should work but that chipset is lacking a little if you ever want to go with a 4670k or above it will bottleneck a bit (not much but a bit) even if you don't over clock but it should be fine for your pentium

what about 4440 because people told me to go for i5 CPUs but my budget is not so big ?

we talking about this http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4566#ov motherboard

any current haswell processor will work on it, but unlocked processors ( 4670k, 4770k ) can not be overclocked on it.

 

table of supported processors for this mobo : http://www.gigabyte.com/support-downloads/cpu-support-popup.aspx?pid=4566

 

Btw, very good mobo choice.

@adiv the 4440 would work but to be honest I would recommend you just get a 4670k and don't over clock it (if you can afford it) it would still be faster than an over clocked 4440 which im not even sure is unlocked (it might be its just I've never heard of it before)  

 

its still a nice mobo though

Is the Mobo able to support SLI cus in the review it's sais Multi-GPU Support or only Crossfire ?

I don't believe i have seen any boards below a z87 chipset that support sli. That board doesn't is for sure.

Is the pinnacle of the b85 chipset though is still limited by the chipset features.
