I'm having trouble locating a new Z170/Z270 ITX board for my i7-6700K. I might have found one on Ebay UK, but I'm unsure about its reliability. Could anyone offer advice on purchasing parts from Ebay or suggest where such a board might be available? I prefer Asus models but am open to other options within a £150 budget if the price is fair. Thank you for your help!

Ebay functions as a marketplace with various independent sellers. Purchasing internationally brings unique characteristics, making the value of such transactions dependent on the seller and the specific situation.

I managed to locate one on Amazon, but it was definitely the German version. I have no idea how international shipping works, particularly since Brexit took place. https://www.amazon.de/dp/B013XQBY5M?link...PY4BMr3TIA Edit: Sorry about the distraction. Around sixty dollars for shipping. lol

Thanks for your effort—it really feels like a challenge to locate anything. It makes me wonder if my motherboard could be valuable once I retrieve the case and components.

Itx boards require a huge extra cost, making it essentially cheaper to just sell the 6700k and replace it with a Ryzen 3300x plus an Itx board setup. Performance gains are minimal but the hardware upgrade can be profitable through resale. I understand it seems odd, but this is the current situation. Many users are focused on high-end Intel processors with 4 cores and 8 threads, while others opt for a budget i5 and a solid motherboard. To sell effectively, you mainly need the board plus an IO Shield.

Sure, I'll take a look at eBay to see what you could get for both options.
