Looking to buy an Intel I7 7740X

[cdlg42]

I'm wondering if it will fit my board. I have an ASRock B250m-HDV: http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/B250M-HDV/index.asp
And I'm looking at this CPU: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Intel-Core-i7-7740X-4-30-2066/dp/B072KTRQ9G/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1514535814&sr=8-1&keywords=i7+7740x
I'm not really sure that the board will support the CPU. If not what would be a better, but cheap-ish board (if possible £300 max)

Also, the seller says it doesn't come with a cooler for it, so what would the best cooler for this be?

Many thanks!

That CPU wont work on that mobo

Any socket 1151 CPU will work with it (except a Coffee Lake CPU)

Like one of these

for your 300 pounds (~$405) you could buy an i7-7700 that is a little bit of overkill for your current board, or an i5-7500 or 7600k for around $200 US. The next step up would be a z270 motherboard so you could overclock a i7-7700k or i5-7600k. Beyond that, you're into the 8th gen Coffee Lake processors, and stuff starts getting really expensive.

I need a new asus board anyway so I may just buy this one I found after about 2 hours of researching:

Worth it?

socket 1151 boards will not work with that CPU, but the one you have selected is 2066, and it will work, to be sure, go to the website for the board and check on the cpu compatibility list.

it says this:
Intel® Core™ X-series Processors (6-core above)
8 x DIMM, Max. 128GB, DDR4 4133(O.C.)/4000(O.C.)/3600(O.C.)/2666/2400/2133 MHz Non-ECC, Un-buffered Memory
Intel® Core™ X-series Processors (4-core)
4 x DIMM, Max. 64GB, DDR4 4133(O.C.)/4000(O.C.)/3600(O.C.)/2666/2400/2133 MHz Non-ECC, Un-buffered Memory
* Hyper DIMM support is subject to the physical characteristics of individual CPUs.
* Refer to www.asus.com for the Memory QVL (Qualified Vendors Lists).

So I take that it works! thanks!

There will be a specific page for cpu compatability as well.
