What's the best (most affordable) motherboard for an i5-4570?
Right now I'm looking at the ASUS P8Z77-V LX LGA 1155 Intell Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel
It seems a little pricey though. Any other recommendations? I was under the impression that it needed to have Z77 in the name for the correct socket. Is that right? Someone else online had mentioned the ASRock H370M PRO4 LGA1151/Intel H370 It's a lot cheaper but I'm not 100% sure on the socket type.
I would really like it to have 4 RAM slots and room for an R9 290 GPU.
Oh, and one other quick question... are CPU coolers brand specific? I bought a Hyper 212 Evo for my A10-5800K. Could I just swap it over to the i5?
Thanks!
