MSI B150 PC Mate

[r_dettling]

i have recently updated my BIOS but cant seem to find any confirmation on whether or not ill be able to install a new i5 8600k (the socket is the same 1151)

No 8th Gen can run on that board , only 7th Gen if updated to the proper BIOS.

Get a 7700.

Nope, Only Z370 MB can support coffee lake right now. B150 can't.
