Motherboard for intel core i7-4790k

[Autocon487]

So I have been looking up on what motherboard to buy using the pcpartpicker for my intel core-4790k. But when I look at these motherboard on amazon, they don't seem to have the right socket for the CPU. Any suggestion as to why and what motherboards fit for this cpu

Intel 1150 socket, check the manufacturer website to make sure the BIOS is up to date to support that CPU.

It's either LGA1150 or LGA1151. I am not sure which one it is, but check on internet before doing anything.

Redgarl, it’s 1150.

Intel 1150 socket, check the manufacturer website to make sure the BIOS is up to date to support that CPU.

On the description in Amazon, it says its only compatible to a z97 motherboard

Just as important as finding a Socket 1150 motherboard is picking a mb with a Z97 chipset.
That's the best type to allow overclocking with a 4790K.
I'm using an Asus Z97-AR.
It's a cheap motherboard but I have had no problems and it still kicks butt after 3 years.

I agree with getting a Z97 for overclocking and compatibility however even a H81 with updated BIOS would work and some are pretty cheap.
