Does chipset matter? If so, which one?

Go to solution Solved by KamiKatze,

Unless you have a K-CPU it doesn't really matter. But remember, the nicer features come with the more expensive boards, which are at the same time mostly Zx7 chipsets.

 

But if you just want a board to get your stuff running, I'd just get some B75 board.

H61 H67 or something like that will do fine though look into a cheap Z77 so you can fit in a 'K' CPU later

oh, didn't know that. Thanks for head up! I tought that i3 was 1150 too

 

They are but only Haswell/Broadwell Core i3's.

 

Sandy Bridge/Ivy Bridge are LGA 1155 and Clarkdale are LGA 1156.
