need mobo for Intel Core i5-7640X

[Edzha]

anyone can recomend me mobo ? i need one witch allows me to OC cpu and has 2 pcie slots so i can put 2x 1060 3 gb alredy have one. i dont know if it is posible but with ddr3 and ddr4 ram support so i dont have to buy rams now and i can add ddr4 later

I don't think you should be looking at a i5-7640X

 

[Edzha]

so its
Intel Core i3-7350K @ 4.20GHz
or i5-7640X


i need CPU only for one game darkorbit flash player browser game so i need max posible cpu with good single core performence and cheap one too so i checked this web out and https://www.cpubenchmark.net/singleThread.html
they are bouth cheap and top choice

why u dont want me to get i5?

 

[Finstar]

Because the motherboards for that i5 cost a fortune.
If you need single core performance then get this:

why 8350 ? not 7350 ? ! understood why that i5 sucks thx. So getting mobo with ddr3 is not posible ? i have this cooler zalman CNPS5X-Performa Quiet Compact its loud rly and i think i cant control it thats why i hate it my stock one was mutch more silent on my i5 3450 so can you recomend somthing rly silent ? like no noise or w/e 😀

The one i linked is a good budget cooler. If you can afford better then the high end noctuas like the NH-D15 are really good.
Motherboards with a ddr3 can't be used with the latest cpu architectures.

Also, the gtx 1060 can't do sli.

Not only is the 8350k newer than the 7350k, it's a lot faster too since it has 4 cores (7350k has only 2)
Most professionals will also agree that the i3 7350k is a horrible cpu.

Well, there are some issues:

1) From what I can tell, none of the motherboards that use that CPU use DDR3 RAM, they all use DDR4 RAM. So you will have to buy RAM to go with it.

2) I've been having trouble tracking down dual-socket motherboards for the LGA 2066 chips. It looks like they're gearing the dual-socket platforms for the Xeon W chips (https://wccftech.com/intel-xeon-w-workstation-cpu-family-launched-c422-lga-2066-platform/, https://www.anandtech.com/show/11775/intel-launches-xeon-w-cpus-for-workstations), which use a different chipset (C422) than that used by the Skylake-X chips (X299)...& it kind of looks like the Xeons won't work in a X299 motherboard, so I don't think the Skylake-X chips will work in a C422.

3) Price-wise, you'd be paying a lot of money for a 4C/4T CPU. With that particular CPU you chose, you're looking at about $420 USD just for the CPU & motherboard (https://pcpartpicker.com/list/kNTF6X)...& you still need to buy DDR4 RAM & a CPU cooler. You could save yourself about $55 USD by going for a Coffee Lake i5-8600K & a motherboard (https://pcpartpicker.com/list/pZyX4C) -- enough to cover the cost of the CPU cooler -- & you'd get a 6C/6T CPU to boot.

EDIT 4) Final note: GTX 1060 (3 or 6GB model) cannot be SLI'd with a 2nd GTX 1060. You need at least a GTX 1070 or better for SLI to work.

That's about as cheap as it gets.

When I started writing my response, you hadn't posted yet...except for the single-line response "I don't think you should be looking at a i5-7640X". Forgive me for actually taking the time to research & provide the OP some actual information...
