I've been planning a "build" and have just started ordering most of the components, but I've come across one snag in my plans.
I already have a new (retail boxed) i7-6700 that I am planning to use in the "build". The MB I was going to get is no longer available. Since I need a 100/200 series chipset for the i7-6700, I'm not finding much in the way of MBs with those chipsets. Especially new ones.
Obviously that's because no one is making them anymore (being old tech). I'm not gung-ho about having to probably use a used MB, but my options are limited at this point.
So... ANY suggestions about buying a used mb and any good places to take a chance with buying one? Originally was going with a Gigabyte MB but open to other brand suggestions also.
Thanks!
