Easy CPU Question

[VoiDzz]

Hello, stupid question I know.

 

1. is an LGA 1155 Motherboard what I need for an i5 3570k / i5 3570

 

2. Would my stock heatsink I got from my I7 4790k support the motherboard / CPU I would get for a 3570

 

Thank you.

Yes, but Z77.

Yes, but get a decent cooler anyways.

kinda. 

1155 supports two series of CPUs (2000 and 3000 series) but Z77 is the newer version of the two, which was made for 3000 series. The chipset for 2000 series was Z68

Z77 is the chipset and LGA 1155 is the socket type.

alright, I'm just trying to make a super budget PC though.

 

Would this mobo support a 3570k

It will but you won't be able to overclock it. Go for a Z series motherboard. I can probably find you one for around the same price of that one. 

 

EDIT: So I just went searching but the lowest Z motherboard I could find that's a little over is this http://pcpartpicker.com/part/msi-motherboard-z97pcmate . You don't want to get an H motherboard because you won't be able to overclock it and the 3570k will just be a waste.

Alright, would be nice if you could.

Would the shitty PSU that comes with that work with just the 3570k (no gpu)

It'll work but you should be careful with buying cheap case/PSU combos.
