Suitable i7 2600k-compatible Motherboard.

[Graptik]

I'm switching from an AMD FX 8350 to an i7 2600k and am having trouble finding a suitable motherboard. My budget for the motherboard is £100. I would like to be able to have a modest overclock but more importantly, it must be able to accommodate about three system fans. Four RAM slots is preferable, but not required. If anyone could help me out, I would be extremely grateful.

if you are squeezed in terms of money , go with MSI
probably you can find a good deal with 100-130 $ on amazon
and for sure you can find good used stuff aswell
don't afraid to buy used stuff from some high rated sellers
I have bought and using 5 year old GPU and sure will use it additional 5 years

I used an MSI GD65 Z77 from 2012 up until 2 months ago when it died. It was a great motherboard with excellent features, I would recommend it.

Anyway you could link me to a store page for this motherboard somewhere?

You may have difficulty finding a good motherboard for that price now as that processor is now a few generations old. Why not look at something a bit newer? Im sure you could get a better combo deal with modern tech.

Money is a little tight and the store I'm buying from is limited but cheap. It's really between the i7 2600k or i5 3570.

I can't seem to find any MSI boards on there with an LGA 1155 socket, except for a £400 one.

Where will you be buying from? You will be looking for "1155 intel motherboards" (1155 is the sandy bridge socket)

Preferrably Amazon but I am open to buying from trustable websites.

That's the American site. It doesn't seem like any are available on the UK version 🙁.
