The way things are going we're going to need ddr3 mobos.
Just bought an asus maximus vii with 16 gig ram and core i7 4790k used for 140 euro. it was top of the line in 2014, and will hopefully last the kid as first system until prices come down. but prices are ao shitty
Good choice. This is perfectly reasonable CPU
I look forward to it. Decent first system and later the joy of upgraded Hardware. Hope the kid likes it as well :)
