First time poster so here goes..

I'm looking for suggestions as to which motherboard I should consider buying to upgrade to. My budget is around £100 - £150 ($140 - $200) and have my mind set on an i5 7600 CPU.

Reason for upgrading is to also upgrade my CPU and RAM as im using a fairly dated CPU and DDR3 RAM which is starting to show while gaming.

Im not really too bothered about cosmetics such as RGB etc im just looking for a reliable board with an easy go use BIOS and would be great if the board had good built in audio.

Thanks in advance for any replies.

Since you can't overclock anyhow, the B250 chipset likely offers you the best combination of features and quality. This would be the least expensive board I'd recommend and the HD3 models have consistently offered good quality and features for the price through the last few generations. Having used this board on several client builds I can verify that it has been a solid performer so far on them all.
