Hi, I have an i5-9400 and think it uses the LGA1151 socket. I was browsing Ebay looking for motherboards with "LGA1151" in the title, but none of them passed the PC parts compatibility check. I checked several PC builder sites from Google, but they didn’t match. Here are the boards I’m thinking about: ASUS H170M-PLUS, GIGABYTE GA-H110M-S2H, and ASRock Q77M VPRO. My RAM is DDR4 at 2666 MHz with 24GB across two slots. Let me know if any of these fit.

Need a 200 or 300 series chipset. LGA 1151 isn’t ideal because it covers multiple generations and CPUs, making compatibility tricky. You can look at the motherboard support page to find out which CPUs are compatible.
