What processor should I get for this Motherboard?

[Eric]

I was going to buy this motherboard in a few months for my gaming desktop, maybe Black Friday when the prices are lower. Only question I have is what processor do you guys think I should get with it? I know different motherboards run specific processors.

Motherboard: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/gigabyt...lack/4712008.p?id=1219807030313&skuId=4712008

Would this processor work with it?

Thanks for the help guys.

Hello,

No, that's a socket 1151 CPU and a socket 2011-3 motherboard.

Look under the LGA2011-v3 list here:

Holy crap the prices. Thanks man for the help. Ill have to do some looking around for cheaper prices on a LGA2011-v3 component.

Depending on your budget..the 2011-v3 are more pricey then a 1151 setup.

I'd say an i7 6800K would be a good choice but its $400+ usd

Go with a socket 1151, intel z170 setup..much more affordable

The 6800k is definitely the starting CPU for the 2011 v3 socket. 6850k if you plan on running SLi/CF config..

And anything higher than that is probably outside your budget.

It's 6950X and it's only $1650 on newegg.
