Cheapest/Best motherboard for an i5-4670K

[trawetSluaP]

I'm building a pc for my partner's Mum and am giving her my old CPU, an i5-4670K. It'll be used for general home PC use. I know this is a bit "overkill" but I'm giving the CPU to her for free so why not take advantage of it.

Regarding budget there isn't one, just the cheapest possible price as long as the motherboard has USB 3.0 and won't bottleneck the i5-4670K.

There will be no overclocking.

Thanks
Paul

If it is just home use like internet and stuff any motherboard will do to be honest, even for a decent gaming rig with a bit of overclocking a £100 motherboard is good enough these days. Unless you need the features the more expensive ones have that is.

Something like this would be fine, but if you can find a cheaper one and looks and features aren't important, you may as well grab that.

Like SieB said, any motherboard will do. I don't even think you have to spend that 'much' on one tbh.

If it has to have front USB 3.0 as well, I'd suggest the Gigabyte H81m-HD3. Costs around £50 and has front USB3, 4x USB3 at the back, 2x Sata III ports, 2x Sata II ports and on top of that it also has HDMI, Displayport, DVI-D aaaand VGA at the back, so they'll be able to hook up any monitor they want.

I know, but as I said in the OP I'm giving them the CPU. Even though it's more CPU than they will ever need, they aren't going to refuse a free i5-4670K!!!
