I've been buying the components needed for my PC build but the motherboard I needed was no longer available (snooze I lose, I guess). I was going for the older GIGABYTE GA-B250-HD3 (rev. 1.0) LGA 1151 Intel B250 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.1 ATX which was supposedly Retail Box New.
I realize that it's hard to find these older 200 series chipset motherboards as NEW these days and I was too slow in snapping this one up. I do see a couple Refurb units for sale.
But... I just saw a (Retail Box New) ASUS PRIME Z270-P LGA1151 DDR4 HDMI DVI M.2 USB 3.0 Z270 ATX Motherboard for sale, but I'm not all that familiar with the brands of MBs.
Would this particular MB by ASUS be a good fit for an Intel 200 chipset MB?
This is gonna be a new Skylake Win7 PC build. The CPU I already have is the Intel Boxed Core I5-6600 FC-LGA14C 3.30 Ghz 6 M Processor Cache 4 LGA 1151 BX80662I56600.
NOT interested in gaming. This will be replacing my 10 year old Dell XPS 8100 i5-650 "workhorse". heh heh
Any insights would be welcome.
Thanks!
