Motherboard choosing help.

[Vibora]

Hey, I have a Chaser A31, and I want a 1151 motherboard that would fit into my case where I wouldnt have any problems with space.

My purpose is gaming, and budget is fine, just suggest me some unless its expensive / expensive for no reason, I dont want those.

That's not enough information, we need to know what CPU you are actually going for.

I recommend you get the Asus Prime Z370-A then.

150$ is really expensive for a Motherboard isnt it?

Do you have anything cheaper?

That board wouldn't work with the CPU's you are looking at.

Wait, if they're 1151, why wouldnt they work with the these GPU's? (If you care explaining?)

Is it because like they dont support the 8th gen?

Even though the board and the CPU's you are looking at have the same socket, Coffee Lake has a different pin layout so not backwards compatible I'm afraid. If you want a cheap Coffee Lake board then I suggest you scratch the idea of getting 'K' sku  chips and look at locked ones and wait for either H370 or B360 boards to come out (H370 boards have been leaked).

I dont want to go crazy. Maybe you could suggest a mid level CPU for 1151? (Something like i5-4570 was back in 2013.)

Go for the i5 8400 and wait for H370 or B360 boards to come out.

AMD Ryzen 5 1600, is pretty nice.

Intel only, from what I have understood the Ryzens are more for a workstations rather then gaming.
