Re: Price difference between i5 7600K & 8600K:
It seems that the CPU price difference (considering the huge increase in benchmark of: 9158/12787) is not great, about £15.
So which motherboard should I choose?:
Obviously it needs to have the basic requirements:
Assuming it has decent on-board: Sound + Graphics + Lan, (+HDMI out) then:
a: eg: enough PCIe slots: 1 to 5 ? (only need 1 to start: 1 x Quad Tuner Card)
b: But allowing for possible expansion: 2nd Tuner Card; Sound card; Graphics card; Wi-Fi)
c: Cant think of anything else?
But I'm not sure just which mobo is the best for each CPU?

CPU Fan:
I don't think any come with a Fan, (except the LN86420 / 3rd from last, above)
I would prefer the CPU Fan (and the case fan) to be as quite as possible)
Any suggestions, many thanks.
