Motherboard help

[acercon]

I am currently helping my friend choose a motherboard. What is the difference between these two?     And we are debating between 6600k or 6500. I think it is going to be 6600k

the Gigabyte is a B150 chipset mobo

 

you wont be able to OC if you use the mobo

 

only Z170 allows OC of the 6600K

So are all B150 chipset not overclockable? 

What about this one? http://www.ncix.com/detail/msi-b150-gaming-m3-atx-33-120220.htm

What is the difference between B150A and B150? 

And what are the difference between the B and H chipsets?

get the 6600k that gives you room for OCing. the difference is that one supports both sli and crossfire while the other doesnt and one chipset allows overclocking while the gigabyte g1 sniper mobo doesnt. because its a b- chipset and not a z- chipset.

do you mean 6500 or the 6600K?

 

6500 go with the B150

 

6600K go with the Z170

 

 

the B150A is just MSI naming

 

there is only one type of B150 chipset
