Recommend me a cheapo motherboard with ddr4 for skylake, /g/
I will finally upgrade my old and loved phenom 965, planning on buying i5-6500, since I won't probably overclock.
It's the one in the image good (msi 170a mate)? live in a shitworld country, and motherboards cost a lot here.
Thanks a lot
Any help?
Just stick with haswell for the time being mate. They are a better value. Skylake is overpriced and gives little to no performance benefit. Unless power saving is a must.
And for a good value motherboard check the sticky, but I'm in a good mood so check:

Just look at motherboard within your budget. Look at features you need, audio hardware version, vrm phase (not important for locked i5), warranty, form factor and dual card support.
I recommend gigabyte and msi.

And this.
You better go with haswell + ddr3 compared to skylake + ddr4 and spend the extra for gpu.

Thing is I already have ddr4, because some friend that travelled to USA brang them for me
What would be 'vrm phase'?

I had already checked logicalincrements, ymit recommends asus pro gaming something, that is quite out of my budget

Gigabyte Z170-HD3 look like solid board. The only small issue is not using latest realtek and no sli support. Try check the review if your ram supported.
No need to worry about vrm if you are not going to oc.
Gigabyte GA-B150M-D3H

Haswell is not better value. It lacks a shit ton of features Z170 brings with it.

The good thing about Intel boards that people overlook is that good ones tend to be cheap compared to good AMD ones. AMD is seen as being a lot cheaper than Intel, and that's true if you are just comparing cpus, but if you factor the MB into it the price gap between them shrinks a bit.
Also with Intel heat is less of an issue if you aren't overclocking. With AMD it's almost to the point that you need liquid cooling even if you aren't overclocking, and that drives cost on up even more.

Don't know why it repeated my last post, the only question is the last one
>>51488793
Gigabyte Z170-HD3 only support DDR 3.
MSI Z170A PC MATE is good enough for budget build and have all the features.

I got this. It's the lowest price and good rating.
well seeing the ram speed benchmark on fallout 4, if fallout 4 is a indicator of games to come, ram speeds are going to matter again.
In the almost same situation as OP, upgrading from my old 960T Black Edition/6870 build

Kinda curious about the mainboard, went with an H-chipset since im not gonna overclock
Are there any issues in having Skylake and DDR3? Kinda want the 6500 since its lower power consumption (from Germany, electricity is expensive here)

Like what lol

GIGABYTE GA-Z170-HD3P (rev. 1.0) LGA 1151
Is much better with full m.2 x4 support.
>>51489964

>all this m.2 spamming
New meme?
