[Build Help] Motherboard Help

[Littlelumos]

I am building a gaming PC with an Intel I5-4590 or i5-4690k, I have the NZXT S340 Case with a 650w PSU, R9 380 4GB and a 240GB SSD.

 

I would appreciate any help with which motherboard to choose, It would need to be good as I game/record/stream, I would also need 4< USB Slots

 

Thanks.

 

Part List:

 

i5-4590 // i5-4690k

8GB RAM (2x4GB)

R9 380 4GB (Graphics Card)

240GB SSD

650w PSU

NZXT S340

go with a z170

Good luck using an LGA 1150 CPU in an LGA 1151 socket.

Buy the cheapest motherboard that suit your needs.

 

If you are buying K series processor, go for Z97 board.

 

If not, H97 board.

Get any cheap one from a reputable brand such as: ASUS, MSI, Gigabyte, EVGA etc.. 

 

If you get the 4590 then go for a H97 board it will be cheaper and better for not overclocking.

 

If you get a 4690k then go for a Z97 board as it will help overclocking.

 

 

*EDIT* Just realised I copied the post above me... Sorry

OK thank you for the help everyone. Any specific H97 model, if I go for the i5-4590, or does it not really matter?

Honestly, it's a bit cheaper to go with the i5-4460 than the 4590.

Asus, MSI and Gigabyte are good brands.

Would it matter if I got the Z97 even if I went for the i5-4590, as I may upgrade if the future?

with that said I meant to mean he should go with a z170 and i5 6600k

Well, you'd only be able to go as far as a 4790k or a Xeon, so for now, you'd be better off with Z170 and i5-6600k.

My budget for the processor and motherboard is about £200-250, I don't think that your suggestion stays in that bracket.
