But since you can't overclock that processor I would suggest a an H370 motherboard. Here are two. MSI H370 GAMING PRO CARBON LGA 1151 (300 Series) Intel H370 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.1 ATX Intel Motherboard https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813144149 or GIGABYTE H370 AORUS Gaming 3 WIFI LGA 1151 (300 Series) Intel H370 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.1 ATX Intel Motherboard https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813145067 Upvote 0 Downvote
