The z87-g43 is just a newer motherboard H87-g43.. not much of a performance difference.. both boards are really good for all around use including gaming..

No, that's your preference. However, I can't say enough good things about windows 8 which is what I run off this motherboard now. Very efficient.

I don't know.I used the z87e-itx board.That supports the msata standard.So, it's good.The M470 product can check a msata a support.You will succeed.

Depends on a few things: number of slots you have for either PCI or PCI express, your personal appeal for the look of your internals, if you are going to need another slot for some other upgrade, and speed. My motherboard only had the PCI Express slot available, so that was my choice. The express generally grants you the higher speeds, but no guarantee if you have an older/slower router.

The AMD HD7870 would be a good choice for this board in terms of price and performance.

a good (much cheaper) replacement is the MSI A88X-G45 Gaming motherboard. when using this however, make sure to use a socket fm2/fm2+ cpu/apu

I didn't crack the case open to look, but when I run dxdiag it reports that the motherboard is an MSI MS-7817. Searching online, it looks like the max ram for that mobo is 16 GB.**Edit** I just read Dave W.'s response. From what I found online, the MS-7817 comes in two flavors, MSI MS7817 H81M-P33 and MSI MS7817 B85M-E33. They appear to be essentially identical except for the chipset.http://www.bestprice.com.my/msi-ms7817-h81m-p33-intel-h81-s1150-mb-4719072307950http://www.bestprice.com.my/msi-ms7817-b85m-e33-intel-b85-s1150-mb-4719072300807

I got the ASRock G41C-GS for my Intel Core 2 Duo E7500 cpu. It bought it for $65, but look around for a better price. It supports both DDR2 and DDR3 RAM, 8GB max. It's a good quality basic motherboard.

Hi Charles,KVR16N11S8/4 is compatible with the MSI B85-G41 PC MATE motherboard. KVR16N11S8/4 is a newer model which is a replacement for KVR16N11/4. The motherboard may need a BIOS update to support it since it is newer technology. Thank you for choosing Kingston as your upgrade partner!-Jewel, Kingston US Technical Support

The only benefit of the z97 would be the m.2 slot. Which to benefit from you would need to get an m.2 pci express x4 SSD. MAKE SURE IT IS PCI EXPRESS X4 AND NOT SATA 3 version of the SSD. All other aspects would be opinionated and based on your needs.

I use the MSI-B85 Motherboard. I'd recommend this if you don't need SLI or anything too fancy.

I have done a build with the msi brand motherboard h81m-p33 micr. And it works just fine. No issues with anything in the way or not being able to connect anything.

? The name of this motherboard, according the the MSI Website (http://us.msi.com/product/mb/Z97_GAMING_7.html#overview), is MSI Z97 Gaming 7. A quick Google search will yield plenty of results with some nice third-party reviews. Hope that helps.

Any Z/H97 board will work with this CPU right out of the box. Some other boards(like the H81 or B85) will often require a BIOS update before you it will boot with that processor in it, so you would have to buy another CPU just to be able to update the BIOS so you can use the G3258. Z97 boards are your best option for future upgrades and compatibility as well as guaranteed to work with the CPU out of the box. H97 boards are generally for non-overclockers, though if your looking at this CPU and don't want to overclock then your looking at the wrong CPU.
