Motherboard, CPU compatibility.

[superkyle12]

Hi all, just finalising some parts of my first build. I have read concerns about motherboard compatibility with 8th gen intel CPUs. something to do with bios numbers(?) I'm pretty new to this and tbh i dont even know what i dont know. Looking to have my mind put at ease before I make a purchase.

I am planning on going for these parts;

i'l also be going for a 1070, 16 gig with 650 power supply. whole thing air cooled with a be quite fan. just in case any of that is relevant

 

Any help or advice would be great  would never have got this for is it wasn't for these forums. keep up the good work folks! its appreciated.

For an 8th Gen CPU, you need an Intel 300-series motherboard.

 

The Aorus board you linked will work perfectly, and seems to be pretty good from what I've found.
