I had to get a new motherboard to go with the new processor for my gaming PC; the one I chose was made by Gigabyte- I got the Gigabyte Z170XP-SLI , but any of Gigabyte’s motherboards should work. Check to make sure they support 6th and 7th generation Intel Core Processors. I’ve attached a picture of the box my motherboard arrived in. Any processor that works with an Intel processor will have the Intel logo printed somewhere on the front of the box.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It entirely depends on the cpu that your son is wanting to have next in his AMD build. There are several sockets that you have to be aware of. www.pcpartpicker.com is a website known widely across PC users, that is a layout that helps you find and put together a compatible pc. I would recommend taking a look at that site.
