Motherboard help

Hi all.

I'm looking for a new Motherboard for my new build and I'm struggling to find the right board.

I require a socket 1151 board and don't want to spend more than £80. I'd like at least 2 chassis fan ports, and if possible 4 RAM slots. However the GPU I've bought is the fairly large RX 480 Red Devil, and I'm concerned about purchasing a board where the PCIE slot is too close to the RAM slot as the card has a backplate on it.

Can anyone please help or recommend anything? Thanks!

What processor do You have? There is very good motherboard in promotional price on one of the online shops: Gigabyte B150 Sniper B7 and the price was cutted from 100 quid to 74.95.

Either going to order an i5 6500 or 6600. Seems like a great board especially at that price, but can't seem to find it for anywhere near that.

Search for MSI Z170-A PRO Intel Z170 S 1151 DDR4 ATX Motherboard. Z170 will allow you to overclock your 6400 or 6500, with the right BIOS.

If not interested in overclocking, then the Giga Sniper suggested or MSI H110M Gaming is decent.

I don't know if I can give You the shop name as overclockers are selling computer components and this is their forum? Does it matter?

No don't worry - competitors links etc. aren't allowed.
