My full PlayList of Motherboard Video Reviews - bit.ly/2iooS1A
1st, the new Pentium with Hyperthreading! If you're on a budget, if you're upgrading or looking for something cheap that still has good performance, start here!
G4560 if you plan to add a dedicated GPU, G4600/G4620 if you want to use the Intel iGPU built into the CPU
--- Intel Pentium G4560 --- @Amazon amzn.to/2khHeT4 --- @Newegg pcdeal.tv/2xrzPJV
--- Intel Pentium G4600 --- @Amazon amzn.to/2l2JPVj --- @Newegg pcdeal.tv/2YwdUNi
--- Intel Pentium G4620 --- @Amazon amzn.to/2l6Iyfo --- @Newegg pcdeal.tv/2Nw9lSl
--- Intel Core i3-7100 --- @Amazon amzn.to/2l2KRQZ --- @NewEggpcdeal.tv/2YAiXww
For these CPUs, anything in the B250 line will work:
--- MSI B250M Pro-VD --- @Amazon amzn.to/2kU44lo --- @Newegg pcdeal.tv/2JjaDdY
--- Gigabyte GA-B250M --- @Amazon amzn.to/2khMXYJ --- @Newegg pcdeal.tv/2ROJbbZ
--- ASRock B250M --- @Amazon amzn.to/2keU21j --- @Newegg pcdeal.tv/2XImHyM
2nd, we have the mainstream option, the Intel Core i5-7500 & i5-7600K. This is the recommended choice and it should meet the needs of most users in my opinion.
--- Intel Core i5-7500 --- @Amazon amzn.to/2khMk1H --- @Newegg pcdeal.tv/2xux8Hf
--- Intel Core i5-7600K --- @Amazon amzn.to/2kf3Fgj --- @Newegg pcdeal.tv/2XHXMer
Motherboard Choices - B250 for i5-7500 & Z270 for i5-7600K (and i3-7350K)
The above listed B250 boards will all work fine for the i5-7500, however consider spending a bit more for one of these. They all support AMD CrossFire and have 4 RAM Slots.
--- ASUS PRIME B250-PLUS --- @Amazon amzn.to/2kf29en --- @Newegg pcdeal.tv/2LFqFBw
--- MSI B250 PC MATE --- @Amazon amzn.to/2kEALVH --- @Newegg pcdeal.tv/2XmEZkO
--- Gigabyte B25-HD3 --- @Amazon amzn.to/2keKraF --- @Newegg pcdeal.tv/2KX3fbk
3rd, the high performance option, Intel Core i7-7700K - If you want the top of the line CPU on Intel's mainstream platform, this is it!
--- Intel Core i7-7700K --- @Amazon amzn.to/2kUaXTO --- @Newegg pcdeal.tv/2FIlfCa
Z270 Motherboards - All good choices for a i5-7600K or an i7-7700K
--- ASUS PRIME Z270-A --- @Amazon amzn.to/2lCy4T5 --- @Newegg pcdeal.tv/2Xp1NFf
--- MSI Z270 SLI Plus --- @Amazon amzn.to/2kU5RXR --- @Newegg pcdeal.tv/324c6xv
--- ASRock Z270 Extreme 4 --- @Amazon amzn.to/2lCp14b --- @Newegg pcdeal.tv/2LE5tw5
--- Gigabyte GA-Z270XP-SLI --- @Amazon amzn.to/2kUj8iX --- @Newegg pcdeal.tv/2KWiqSm
--- CPU Coolers ---
For the K-CPUs, you have options, my 3 primary options at 3 price points are here:
--- $35 - CoolerMaster Hyper 212 EVO --- @Amazon amzn.to/2kEDOx7 --- @Newegg pcdeal.tv/2KSFDog
--- $120 - Corsair H60 Liquid Cooler --- @Amazon amzn.to/2khT27P --- @Newegg pcdeal.tv/2LyrdJF
--- $190 - Corsair Hydro Liquid Cooler --- @Amazon amzn.to/2kEwDVA --- @Newegg pcdeal.tv/2JpLpKP
Which one to buy depends on how far you want to overclock. My suggested range is 4.6GHz to 5.0GHz, the more you spend, the more you can overclock the CPU, each jump in price gives you another 200MHz in general, but results are not guaranteed.
If you want the "safe" options, I'd use the Hyper 212 EVO on the i5-7600K, set it to 4.6GHz, and be happy, or I'd use the Hydro on the i7-7700K and set it to 5.0GHz and be happy.
