[mmaarrttiimm]

Looking for the cheapest MoBo with these specs:
My CPU: Intel Core i5 7640X
My RAM: DDR3 2x 4GB RAM
My Cooler: (still don't know, any ideas?)
Thanks

You will need new RAM. DDR3 RAM will not work with any X299 chipset motherboard. Required for the i5-7640x.

Here is the cheapest I found.

BTW, does it need to be x299 or can it be higher?

Do you already have the 7640x?

Also x299 is the only platform the 7460x is supported on.

Yes, it needs to be DDR4. Just use PCPartpicker. It will limit search results to compatible products. Although not always optimal. Start with the CPU, then the motherboard, then everything else.

If you don't already own that CPU. Then don't buy that build. It would be a total waste of money. You can get a much better value with Intel Coffee Lake. This would cost less and is faster.
