Is my motherboard Compatible with GTX 1080 Ti and i7-770 CPU

[redhot3]

Can my motherboard, Asus H87-PLUS support... GTX 1080 Ti and i7-7700 CPU?

It will support a 1080 ti. It wont support an i7 7700. H87 mobo's only support 4th gen haswell CPU's and 4th gen haswell refresh CPU's with a BIOS version that supports haswell refresh.

PS. I have posted on 'Gaming forum', I thought this category is the right place. Sorry for the duplicate post.

I don't think it supports the 7700....at least it's not listed here.

The fastest i7 looks to be the 4790K.....but it will support a GTX 1080 Ti.

Thank you both for replying!

What good motherboard do you guys suggest? If possible, under Assus please.

I recently bought an ASUS TUF Mark 1 that I'm very happy with.

There is a Mark 2 that is cheaper.

...but there are a lot of good boards out there.

I see. They do seem good. Though, I was considering Z87 pro gamer or ASUS ROG Maximus IX Extreme.

Z87 mobo's don't support 7th gen either. The maximus Z270 board does. This will require DDR4 RAM as well.

If you have the budget for a new CPU, mobo, and RAM I would not recommend a i7 7700. The i5 8600k and a Z370 mobo would be a better option.

The thing is I made a small mistake. I purchased the i7-7700 yesterday and I'm waiting for it to be delivered, without knowing if it will be compatible with my motherboard. Although, I do not mind buying another motherboard.

I need to make sure if I have the DDR4 ram or not, I'm not at home atm. But I guess, since I have already purchased the GTX 1080 ti and i7-7700, I guess I should just go with the motherboard. No? Which Z370 / Z270 motherboard do you recommend?

You don't have DDR4 RAM if you plan to reuse what's in your H87 board, H87 only supports DDR3.

I would personally return the 7700 if you can. If you cant then really any H270 or Z270 board would be fine for a locked i7 7700. Something like that maximus is a waste of money with a locked CPU however. I would look at the ASUS H270 or Z270 prime.
