Help on lga 1151 motherboard

[Anthony_Lee]

I am building a gaming pc soon and i need a good motherboard (lga 1151) i wont be doing any OC on the mobo. Can anyone suggest a good lga 1151 motherboard with ddr4 ram slots? thx. I was going for the msi h170 gaming m3 but i heard that msi motherboard quaility is not that good that msi is more of a cheap brand than a quaility brand. My price range is £90-100 max.

Under 100 doesn't actually leave many options tbh... All 1151 boards have ddr4 BTW

Any H170 motherboard would be fine. Just make sure you're getting a ddr4 version because there are several that support ddr3. MSI is pretty much equal to the other main manufactures like Asus, Gigabyte, and ASRock.

see this http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/best-intel-amd-motherboard,3902.html give a look at the gigabyte .

No they don't.

If you don't mind microATX, this would be perfectly fine as well. It's from amazon so probably free shipping and no tax.

thankyou to all of you guys the the help. I am buying a atx motherboard the first motherboard was the Gigabyte GA-H170-HD3
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B014QPFQ5S?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=ox_sc_act_title_6&smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE
but it was out of stock so my only choice is the MSI H170 Gaming M3 Motherboard

but i heard many negative reviews on msi motherboards cheaping out to have a low price range and drivers failing on it. I am trying to find a asus motherboard but i can only find the Asus Z170-P D3 which only supports ddr3 ram. i can choose the z170 series but it really pointless because im not doing any OC with the intel i5 6500 which is a locked cpu. I know you can OC 6500 on h170 motherboards but im not going to.

Thanks CTurbo the ASRock H170 Pro4 ATX LGA1151 looks quite good but im aiming for asus because apparantly it is the most realiable.

Just grab that Asus microATX and call it a day. You're not going to lose anything noticeable by choosing microATX over ATX.

 

[Anthony_Lee]

So the msi h170 gaming m3 will be good right? Im choosing this because it has all the slots i need such as ddr4 lga 1151 ect.

Yes you are worrying too much about the brands.
