CPU/Mobo Motherboard for Intel Core i5 4670

[dcosmopolitan]

Hi,

I am planning an upgrade with Intel Core i5 4670 4th gen. processor.

Please recommend a good motherboard within a budget of 8-9k INR.

I prefer Intel but open for Asus & Gigabyte as well.

Thanks.

Got Gigabyte H87-D3H along with i5 4670 around 6months back and have been pretty happy with it. (think I payed ~8.6k)

There is some deal going on for a Z87 mini ITX board on primeABGB.

Answer to your question in poll would be' if....else....' If you want to overclock get 4670k else 4670.

There are 2 differences between 4670 and 4670k

4670k is unlocked so you can overclock. As suggested by @vyral_143

But if you need virtualization(VT), better get 4670. I dont know why but the 'k' ones dont have it. CORRECTION - The 'k' series dont have VT-d and they do have VT

@vivek.krishnan I don't need mini ITX boards, I prefer ATX. I will check for more deals there though, thanks.

@random2 Thanks a lot for that. Yes, I do need virtualization. I will see what is the difference between VT and VT-d. I am also considering GA-H87-D3H, by the way.

@vyral_143 Yes, I don't need to overclock. So, except overclocking, there is no other reason why one should go for 4670K?

4670k lacks VT-d, vPro and TSX-NI (Courtesy: http://ark.intel.com/compare/75048,75047)
