I am new to buying processors, and I want to buy an Intel i7-6700, along with a compatible motherboard. Searching on newegg.com, motherboards always notate that they are compatible with a particular chipset. However, when looking at the specs for the processor (http://ark.intel.com/products/88196/Intel-Core-i7-6700-Processor-8M-Cache-up-to-4_00-GHz#@specifications), I can find no mention of a chipset. The only thing I can find is a page listing compatible desktop boards (http://ark.intel.com/products/88196/Intel-Core-i7-6700-Processor-8M-Cache-up-to-4_00-GHz#@compatibility), which mentions various chipset names.

I'm confused, to say the least! Can anyone help clarify this for me? Thanks.
