hey i need help picking a motherboard thats compatible with an Intel I7 7700k my problem is i dont know if all 1151 socket motherboards are compatible or just a few so if you could link me to the most affordable motherboards that would work with it that would be great.

also if you know of any sites selling bundles that include the 7700k, motherboard and RAM could you link me that too. thanks c:

Be careful buying Skylake ?1?? series boards as they need a BIOS update to accommodate Kaby Lake CPU's, which can only be done with a Skylake CPU in most cases. If in doubt, get a 200 series (?2??) Kaby Lake board.

All compatible 200 series boards.. http://pcpartpicker.com/products/motherboard/#c=120,121,119&sort=a8&page=1

Also be aware that you can only overclock your unlocked CPU with a z270/z170 board. Not much point having a k chip without one of those.
All 1151 mobos should be compatible, but if in doubt, you can always go to the manufacturer's site and check.
Cheapest mobo that supports that CPU: http://pcpartpicker.com/product/WXyxFT/asrock-motherboard-h110mhds
Cheapest mobo that lets you overclock and take advantage of an unlocked CPU: http://pcpartpicker.com/product/N4nG3C/asrock-motherboard-z170mpro4s

Not that I would necessarily recommend just getting the absolute cheapest mobo you can find.

Edit: As mentioned below, any 100 series mobos will need a minimum BIOS revision to support Kaby Lake. You should confirm which BIOS a 100 series mobo before you buy it if you want to confirm it will support a 7700K. Or just get a 200 series mobo. Although the cheapest mobos are the 'H' series, which they aren't making a 200 series version of.
