Hello,
Everyone
I recently bought an Intel i5 6600 LGA1151. I am currently using an i3 550....Yeah, I know lol.
I know enough about computers but still weary about going all out and buying a new ATX motherboard, which I need to do in order to fit the new processor.
My concerns vary a little bit here:
I'm a little confused about chipsets and can't find much helpful information, or at least none that I'm easily understanding so any advice there would be helpful. I see some people say it doesn't matter much. I don't plan on overclocking or anything too technical.
I'm also trying to keep my 4 DDR3 sticks but I'm having trouble finding a motherboard that is compatible with the LGA1151 and the DDR3s. Do these not exist or am I just not looking correctly? After buying the CPU, and soon a mobo, I would really prefer not to buy expensive DDR4s as well. But will if I must, of course.
I would prefer and have been using Newegg because I trust them.
I would greatly appreciate any advice that anyone can give me.
Thank You in advance.
