[SOLVED] What's a good replacement motherboard for an Intel Core i5 4560?

[Supernano]

Recently, my motherboard gave out and I trying to find a good replacement for it. I just don't know what to look for when it comes to a motherboard. How can I find one that is compatible with my CPU? My computer specifications are Intel Core i5 4570, 8 GB of DDR3 1333Mhz, Toshiba hard drive one terabyte. Old motherboard I'm trying to replace is MSI H81M-E33.

You can look on eBay or other used sources for another H81 motherboard. H81 is the chipset and is compatible; that is the cheap/low-end chipset. Other compatible chipsets include B85 and Z97, but those will be more expensive.

Best to replace with the same brand identical motherboard if you can.
That way, windows will not have to do anything.
Drivers will be loaded already.

Otherwise, look for any lga1150 motherboard that fits your case.
Verify support for your cpu by looking at the support site for that motherboard.
If buying used as is likely, see that the rear I/O panel is included.
Here is a link as to what the different chipsets offer:

With something that old your best replacement would be the cheapest replacement that has all of the features you need.
