Recently ive been planning a good but cheap build, but i cant seem to find a motherboard that actually wont cause problems with my cpu. Im looking for one thats under 100$

Cpu: Intel Pentium G4560
 
Solution
1. Out of the box, all Intel B250, H270, Z270 will work. With a BIOS update, all Intel 110, B150, H170, Z170 ... thpo I don't recommend going last generation.

2. If the idea here is to build a solid gaming box, then audio and network connectivity matter and I would not settle for less than ALC 1220 and Gigabit LAN. That's going to put you in the $130 price range MSRP, tho these boards can oft be had from $85 to $120. The MSI Z270 SLI plus as $80 last week. The Gigabyte Z270- SLI was $106. This week they are $122 - $136 and above your budget. If you willing to wait .. it's worth having the better stuff

Right now you have this opportunity available but will have to scoop up fast
