will mobo affect cpu performance

Solution


Double post OP and you can pretty much guess what he means by 'performance', which is the lot as a whole.

As for the question;

unless you plan to overclock with an intel "k" CPU, then no, and if you do want to overclock with an overclockable CPU you get a "Z" series motherboard for the appropriate socket.

You get different features with the more expensive motherboards, and that includes many things, multi-GPU support to SATA ports to RAM slots (2-4) to USB ports, there are many differences but that rarely effects performance unless you either want to overclock or want to go SLI or Crossfire at their best configurations.

The numbers are the chipset, and they have their purposes for different...

Main difference between chipsets is of features. As far as performance goes, the difference is often less than 1%. Hence when you're buying a new motherboard, look up the features of the individual chipsets and see which one suits your needs the best.
