itx motherboard What ITX motherboard would work best for a Intel 8700?

[GenericBot1]

Hey guys so recently I upgraded my gaming pc to an AMD 5600x and a RTX 3070. I have an old Alienware Pre-built that I want to take the Core i7 8700 and GTX 1660 super out of and do a small form factor build for my basement. Problem is that I have no knowledge about Intel motherboards and processors as my research for my current main build was really only AMD focused. What do you guys think the best ITX mobo for the 8700 would be. I really only wanna spend between $150-$250 for the mobo so I'm not asking for any top of the line stuff. Any advice would be greatly appreciated because again, I don't know a whole lot about intel motherboards. 

 

This is the build so far: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Genericbot1/saved/k39gBm

Your pcpp list is set to private currently.

 

I don't think anybody ever made motherboard tier lists for non-overclockable 1151v2. Boards from this generation are no longer sold new, and a quick look at eBay shows that used ITX boards even with the entry-level chipsets are rather painfully overpriced (~$200 at minimum). 

 

Since you're not overclocking and the 1660 Super is going to be the limiting factor in performance, I would honestly use whatever compatible ITX board you can find for relatively cheap.

I was more wondering if like a z470/z490 or even a newer board could work. Its not meant for THE BEST performance since I have my main in my room. This is more a mini ITX for the basement. I just want an affordable mobo that fits in the case. Also my PC part picker is off private sry about that

z470/z490

No, Z490 are LGA 1200. They're for 10th and 11th gen Intel CPUs.

X470 are AM4 and for AMD CPUs.
