Suprisingly enough, the price just works. Lower end board though, but the clockspeed difference is marginal.

You could throw an i7 in there, you could throw a celeron in there.

Only thing is it has to be lga1150, and has well refresh is supported by a bios update, but you Dont need to worry about that if you go with the 4440.
