Question on fitting a processor to a motherboard

[Ben Leon]

I am trying to build a computer and I am doing some research. But to be honest I don't how what most of the stuff means(I'm a newb) (such as pins ddr3 etc). I picked out a processor (intel i7 devil's canyon 4790k lga 1150) but I don't know what motherboards fits this processor. If you could give me a list that would be awesome. Thank You!

Any one of these types... H81, B85, Q85, Q87, H87, Z87.

Oh, and Z97 and H97

If you want overclock it in the future go with the Z97 or Z87 .
I think the H doesnt overclock tho , about the Q i dont know .

Look to the Z97 mobo - a good one is the Asus Z97-A or if budget permits the Z97 Hero is a great one Mine in sig
