Hi everyone, I hope everyone is alright. I'm trying to decide which motherboard to buy for my CPU. I have an i7-6700 non-K with 16GB DDR3 RAM, and I'm using a HP board that's quite old. I'm looking for something around $60 to $100. I need RGB headers and support for three front panel fans. Any suggestions would be great! Thanks a lot.

The issue mainly lies with the RAM. You won’t locate a top-tier motherboard for this model that supports DDR3, which results in few fans and no RGB features. The used market is your best option—look for a Z170 or Z270 board that fits your needs and check for DDR4 memory as well.

I’m okay with DDR4, which should definitely expand your choices.
