Hi all, im looking to build a non over clocked system with a intel processor in a matx system. My question is how good a chipset do i need.
im prepared to pay between 100-200 for the motherboard, 200-300 for the intel processor. im very performance per dollar motivated so i dont want to pay twice as much for something that gives me 3% performance increase.
I plan to game mostly at 2k. at some point i may upgrade my video card and go 4k like maybe in two years.
I already have most my components figured out, all high quality, but im unsure the motherboard/processor combo that gives me the best value in my price range especially the chipset that offers the most pci-e lanes to cover a good card and good m.2 drive.
So if you could mostly cover the motherboard/chipset and why, and the processor which i assume would be some i5 variant that would be greatly appreciated.

- i wont over clock.
- ill have one m.2 drive and one or two ssd's, 1 dvd drive. 32gb of ram 2x16, one gtx 2070, i will never go sli.
- i want to make sure that it has enough pci-e lanes that with the one card and one m2 drive there is enough without gimping either channel.
- i dont need wifi or bluetooth, but neither would hurt.
- case will be under the desk so rgb is of no use to me, but wont hurt either.
