Hi guys need some help here my friend has this processor intel i7 7700k but we can not find the right motherboard to buy he has a budget of about £120 to £140 what's the best he can get i really need help he rings me ever day asking and i don t have the answer i normally just buy bundle from here as they know what's best i guess He has
H110M-K INTEL H110 (SOCKET 1151) DDR4 MICRO ATX MOTHERBOARD
{HOPE U GUYS CAN HELP ME} he is trying to use quest 2 on v r raceing and wants to upgrade i can try get u more info on parts what he has if needed thx for reading hope u can help me
 
I think that: Asus H110M-K, should work with the 7700K, but it might need a BIOS update first.

The chipset generation that was natively compatible with Kaby Lake CPU is the 200 series, e.g. B250 and Z270.

What's missing from the H110M-K, that he wants to have?
 
Another question is it worth him waiting for some extra money and upgrade both motherboard and processor and ram as he is wanting to play I racing on vr quest 2 I am trying to help him but he is tight get lol
 
Right update just spoke to him he agree with selling his 7700k and motherboard and ram 16gb right now my next question is what is best for him to get he has £450.00 to buy processor motherboard and ram 16gb maybe just 8gb for now depending on budget I thx u for all your advice best for quest 2 vr he plays loads i racing LOADS thx again guys

It might take a month or so for stock to settle down with the 5600X but for £450 you would be looking at

£280 5600X
£120 B550
£55 16gb ddr4 3200

£455 total

If you didn't want to wait on the 5600X then the Intel 10600k setup is available now for a similar price.

My basket at Overclockers UK:
Total: £453.47 (includes shipping: £10.50)​

LOL the guy is asking for a motherboard for a 7700k and yet you lot quote him a CPU that is rarely in stock and to spend more money. Nice advice guys. :)

Best advice is to go 2nd hand and look for B250 and Z270 chipset motherboards as Tertras says.

alternative here is one for £89.99

https://www.overclockers.co.uk/giga...51-ddr4-atx-mining-motherboard-mb-56b-gi.html

(its designed for multiple GPU's/Mining but it would still be ok for your need and in budget and its new)

The 10600k is in stock if he doesn't want to wait for a 5600X alternatively he could go also for a 3600 or a 10400F and save a bit of cash.

Both would be better than investing in a dead platform with no future upgrade path and while CPUs like the 7700k still go for good money then why not sell and get something better and that would last a good few years longer than an old quad core which is already starting to struggle in modern titles.
