What motherboards would make a good match with an i3-4160 for a budget office build?
I am building my first computer (yay!) for my parents who use it primarily for email, facebook and playing chess. I have decided on Intel's i3-4160 processor, and my next step is to determine a motherboard to pair it with.
I would like a smaller form factor that would allow me to pair it with a smaller case. Also Wifi capabilities out of the box. I was thinking an H97 chipset, but I'm not familiar with chipsets so I'm not sure.
Additional considerations:
SSD: planning on one 1TB HDD (so no RAID stuff)
Memory: 2x4GB (8GB total)
Graphics: no graphics card
Monitor: already own a VGA monitor, but OK with replacing it.
Thank you in advance!!
