Cheapest Intel 8th Gen Motherboard

I was wondering what is the cheapest Motherboard for Intel latest 8th Gen I5-8600k Processor.

I'm currently running I5-6600K on Asus H110M-K Motherboard, so I wanted to know if any such mobo is available for 8th gen also.

I don't require overclocking or M.2 slot or any fancy feature just a bare bone MOBO which can support I5-8600k + 32GB DDR4 RAM + GTX 1080

 

Thanks.

Cheers.

Not currently, H and B series boards will be arriving in early 2018.

 

Although I must question why you would want a board like that with an unlocked CPU

Why would you get an 8600K and not overclock it? Anyway, the only motherboards available for Coffee are Z370

Thing is I'm currently getting a good deal on the processor. So don't wanna miss it. As per my experience prices never goes down.

Also, will there be a significant change compared to my current setup?

If you're getting a good deal on the CPU, get it at a low price and then wait a bit and get a Z series board so you can overclock it.


As far as benchmarks go, Skylake and Coffee Lake aren't too different, but Coffee Lake is definitely better for some things

Is it worth spending on them? Keeping in mind my current setup. I only game on them nothing productive.

You'd have a load more cores and threads, as well as clock potential. Just get a low end Z370 board. Dunno if prices have moved but I got the Asrock Z370 Pro4 for around £120 when the CPUs launched.

ASRock Pro4 or the Killer SLI are "decent". Anything under that is meh.

edit: My bad, Pro4 is meh

 

Don't buy Apple M1 computers with 8GB of RAM

Price wise, the only ones lower were some MSI models and I've been burnt by them before. Not much in the price anyway.
